I have issues with empty forms that are being sent to my email even though that JS validation is set, and also followed the advice in the following thread. The IP addresses that send the empty mails are Alexa spiders.

Firstly, I have had the auto server side validation as the last thing in onSubmit. Then I realized that it may need to be first, as in attached image - is this logic correct?

Is there anything else that needs to be checked or validated in order for server side validation to work?

Hi weiseren,

You need an Event Loop in the Auto Server Side Validation On Fail action, at present it does nothing useful. The order is OK, I don't think it matters whether it is before or after the Check Captcha action.

I would have expected the Check Captcha to block the Alexa Spider, I'm not clear why that isn't happening :-(
