: Why is a contact form getting spammed even after adding captcha? A client was getting a lot of spam from a form on their site. I added Captcha and changed the form fields and form recipient

Either:


Your attempt at adding captcha can be bypassed.
The email address is known and the spam is not coming through the contact form.


Its very hard to tell exactly what is wrong without a link to the site to investigate.

I am the author of free open source contact form software that is designed to solve this very problem. My contact form:


Never reveals email addresses through the web interface
Has spam prevention features that can be enabled such as

bot traps
required preview
captcha
HTML not allowed in messages



I would suggest that you change the email address and install my contact form software.
