Hi,
Since we got a lot of spam through our old CF6 Contact form recently I bought CF7 and rebuilt the form from scratch.
Sadly the form fully ignores, that reCaptcha and/or SecIcon are not solved and I get an E-Mail where the Placeholders aren't replaced with the values.
If the captchas are solved I get an E-Mail with the correct information which is entered.
Obviously I don't want to get an E-Mail at all in this case. Same goes for PHP validations.
In form settings "Check security fields" and "validate fields" are set as default.
Do you have any tips?
Greetings,

Hi daniels7,
Does this issue occur when you test the form using the "Front view" link in the form editor ?

Hi admin,
sorry for the late answer, somehow I didn't get a mail notification for your answer, just fdor the answer of EQAChrono.
As for EQAChrono it happens for me in both views as well.

how many pages does your form have ? if your form has one page only then that will happen, your form should have at LEAST 2 pages!

It just has one page, yes. More than one page would be awkward for a contact form at the location we use.
Why there is a need of 2 pages? It's stated nowhere and this problem would be easy to fix by just checking the captcha / security mechanisms before sending any mail. Sadly there is no way to define the order of processing in the backend.

Well, any form has 2 pages, a page for displaying the fields and another for processing the data (end page), the end page can redirect to the start page, but it must be there for security fields, so just add an empty page and add a redirect to the first page and all should work fine!

I changed it now and it seems to work, so I hope that now there won't be any spam anymore.
Thank you very much
As long as the reCaptcha is stopping the form when you test it then all should be ok!

It's working for me too. IMHO it would be usefull to have a clear warning about not deleting the last page, or just not allowing it.
added this to the page delete warning!
