Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 23, 20232 yr Hi there, I'm lately receiving several SPAM emails per day from my community's contact form. Is there any thing I can do to avoid receiving spam every day? Thanks Ibai
January 23, 20232 yr You'll want to ensure that you have enabled in ACP -> Members -> Spam Prevention -> "Guests must complete CAPTCHA in order to post?" This will also enable a CAPTCHA on the contact us form. At this time, however, this is the only method to prevent spam on the contact us form for guests.
January 23, 20232 yr Author 😞 then that's enabled and still retrieving spam emails. I'm using reCAPTCHA V2 I also added a question and answer challenge, but it's not being shown in the contact form. Edited January 23, 20232 yr by Ibai

FWIW, I use it on my own community and get limited spam emails. 20 minutes ago, Ibai said: I also added a question and answer challenge, but it's not being shown in the contact form. That is correct. As previously mentioned, only CAPTCHA would show on contact us. Imagine a scenario where someone was having issues registering because they couldn't get past your Q&A, now they would also not be able to contact you.
