Hi guys!

I have a very strange issue with spam on a form I've created. I have messages coming through from two IP addresses which are clearly spam.

However they are getting past the captcha, at first I figured it might be a human spammer but then looking back at the messages the captcha codes coming through on the forms is 8 characters long when the captcha on the form is only 5 characters long?!

I thought that perhaps something was set up wrong but everything is set as required, authentication is on, I have made sure the the tags are sat in div tags and no p tags and "on fail" is set to event loop.

Any help on this would be great as I've got no idea! haha

Hi jimdda,

What are the IP addresses?

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.

The IP addresses were: 188.143.232.12 and 94.23.238.222

I have added the back up to this post.

Thanks!

Hi jimdda,

That is an odd one - the Captcha setup looks fine to me.

Please see this FAQ which will let you block specific IP addresses.

PS The AutoJavascript validation action should probably be replaced by an Auto Serverside validation action. I think that is probably what you intended.

Thanks for that!

Let's hope they don't use another IP!!
