Despite reCAPTCHA, I am constantly receiving spam sent via my contact form

[Trimbara]

Hi,

I'm using WB14.x with the "reCAPTCHA v2" extension (already since some months). And yes, all settings are valid and my contact form sends mails only, if reCAPTCHA allows it.

BUT ...

Despite reCAPTCHA, I am constantly receiving spam sent via my contact form. Why does that happen and do others have the same problem?

Please help - because I HATE SPAM!

We all hate spam!. In reality there is not much you can do to stop someone (human) sitting in front of their PC etc and manually filling the form and the recaptcha to spam you!.. You can block a range of IP's by setting up a .htaccess file and place on your server to block them. But it is almost impossible to stop someone hell bent in spamming you if they choose to.

Please note this is unrelated to the program or the recaptcha... it is human related. You could post a note asking users not to to Spam you but it will fall on deaf ears..
