Hi There, the site was live for less than a week and now the spam is pouring in. Are there any other measures you might recommend other than recaptcha?
Getting a lot of Spam through the email form.

Hello,
Apologies for the Inconveniences caused!
Currently, we can see that there is reCaptcha configured for this Website. However, can you please let us know if you are still receiving SPAM even after setting up reCaptcha? Additionally, you can consider configuring hCaptcha (already included) and we will be adding Cloudflare Turnstile support very soon.
However, even if after setting up reCaptcha/hCaptcha, if the SPAM Emails that are coming through are persistent, then they are not really Bot SPAMs but can be Human SPAM which can’t be prevented directly. So, you can setup filtered words and allowed URL numbers inside the include/form.php File. Simply find the $spam_keywords and setup your keywords depending on the content you are receiving everyday and also now you can setup $allowed_urls to check and the limit the number of URLs received.
Hope this Helps!
Let us know if we can help you with anything else or if you find any further issues.
