Hi Peter,

My expirience is that it does nothing. :)

I migth be wrong, but thats's my expirience then using the form module. It seems like an almost wide open door, even when anti-spam is activated.

Would be nice to hear DWs explanation?

And how about server-side-validation in the form module? Seems far away... :)

Best regards,
Casper

I've seen the mentioned feature too, and have not yet figures out how it works, and how I can call it in forms.

It is a drawback that forms don't have anti-spam functionality. Some of our clients recive some amounts of spam...

One of our clients has just closed down all contact forms on their webshop, because it was used for relaying.

Our clients also report an increasing amout of spammails, even after upgrading to 8.2.3.4.

DW: Any plans on improving the antispam-functionality further?

Hi Jacob,

 

There were a lot of improvements after 8.3.1. We also had troubles with it, but noticed a significant improvement after the upgrade.
