Do you intend to update the include php sendmail form mail so that REcapture V3 will work - just that with V2 we are receiving so much spam that the the spammers must have worked out how to bypass V2 check box ??

Hello,

We are not really sure about receiving SPAM using reCaptcha v2 as we do not see any reports on Our reCaptcha Admin Console.

Google reCaptcha v3 is easy to implement and you only need to change the Secret Key in your include/form.php File and then use this Template: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gequph6wh3jk8ql/contact-recaptcha-v3.html?dl=1 and change the Site Key in the appropriate locations.

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Hi I tried that please see http://www.prestelandpartner.com/contact.html and there is no longer a recaptcha box to fill in - yet the email form does get submitted and I do receive it ???

<div class="col_full">

&lt;script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=6Lc6HawUAAAAAAdM14L6PANxh5ImDSJpNaQho6vo"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
grecaptcha.ready(function() {
grecaptcha.execute('6Lc6HawUAAAAAAdM14L6PANxh5ImDSJpNaQho6vo', {action: 'contact_page'});
								});
								&lt;/script&gt;

							&lt;/div&gt;

Ok I have it wrong V3 works in a different way - I'll see how it goes.

But I might have to go for a different type of form to deter the spammers

Thanks

Hello,

As you might have already noticed, the reCaptcha v3 works in a different way. But if that is still not stopping the Form, then it is not the issue with the Contact Forms, however, the issue is that these Forms are filled up by Real People who send out SPAM and not Bots (our Forms Processors are designed to protect against Bot SPAMs), which is why the reCaptchas are also passed. As a result, the Form Responses are successfully delivered.

An extra layer of protection is required to filter out words that you want to block when sending out Form Responses to your Emails. Consider using this File: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nk4fhz2hc0dmh9p/form.php?dl=1 and edit the $spam_keywords Array to add the words you want to block.

If the words are found in any Field on your Form, the Processing will be stopped and the response will not be sent. However, it will still show a Successful Message to the User so that they don’t know what is going on behind the hood which will prevent them from finding another way of sending SPAM.

Hope this Helps!
