On multiple sites I have hosted on Netlify, I receive spam messages of one random word or other meaningless tidbits that appear to bypass the spam filtering. I have enabled the honeypot field on my form/s but because these messages are not verifiable ‘spam’ they don’t get caught.
You can see a live form that is having this issue here: https://djjoemygoodness.com/#booking
Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions on what to do to fix it?
Spam is the worst! Have you considered implementing a recaptcha?
Just implemented that. Hopefully it solves the issue. Thank you!
yeah, let us know how that goes! we hate spam as much as you do.
We have got the same problem.
We’ve implemented a recaptcha but I’m not sure that helped because every couple of days we seem to a bunch of messages come and I have to mark them all as spam.
The annoying part is that we have the new messages automatically sent to slack and it can be hard to see when a legitimate query comes through.
Oh man, that is super frustrating. You’ve verified that the recaptcha is working well? You also have a honeypot field?
There is a v3 recaptcha, but to be very honest we don’t have any official docs on implementing that, so it would be a bit of a heroes quest, but it might help. I’m sorry I don’t have better things to suggest at this time.
