Dear team Gavick.com,

I have a problem with GK Contact. I get a lot of spam through this plug-in. I enabled captcha but it did not solve my problem.

Best regards,
Valentina

Hi

Sorry, but I do not know how to solve it other than using a different captcha solution. I've found on the internet an information how spambots works: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8472 ... 95#4489395 and looks like newest bots are using human solvers for hard to pass captcha, so there is really no solution to this problem I'm afraid :(

Sadly i had to remove it from my site.
Tons of Spam from Asia,China and Jap so..
the main problem is that the form send mail
with its mail in my case
[email protected]
so its not the real spammer resulting to be
banned and filtered in my gmail spam folder
but me..and its annoying.
If only the form could send mail indicating
the usermail inserted as the mail
this could lead to a better shield to the spammers
themselves..
and once blocked is blocked..even better if it could
block the Ip..
but as for now i had to ..sadly..remove it.

ps.maybe one good way to do that is to put just an images which call's just a "mail to"
then there bot or not would need to insert a mail to write us and we can us gmail-yahoo-hotmail spam powers^^
i mean a social bar with the mail and the social account badges could do the simple trick elegantly :geek:

As i wrote elsewhere i found wufoo.com service.
I'm trying it but seems working it.
Just edit amd embed the code in a custom html module.
Just one ip for mail,checks text has been sent one time only.
I'll report later.
