Hello everyone, despite having inserted in my chrono form the mandatory fields and the captcha continue to arrive spam emails. Below is one of them:Nome claudineke60

Can you give me a hand? Thank you

It's not magic, it can only stop automated submissions. If a person goes and fills the captcha in correctly there's no way to stop it.

I know this is somewhat late, but the issue here is not only ReCaptur but also that validation in Chronoforms is usually client side, and spammers automated tools avoid that.

So what is needed is server-side php that uses regular expressions to search for URLs in fields and reject the email if they are found.

However the FAQ https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/63-cfv4/cfv4-working-with-form-data/2594-how-can-i-use-the-form-data-with-php.html is pretty sketchy about how to use pre-email php to validate form data server-side.
