Hello,
I am receiving spam through the contact form on my website. All fields are empty except some nonsense in the text space. I tried it myself and it seems that if i put only one space or one other character in the text fields it will send the form. The only fields that work properly are the phone, email and control question. I can edit the code to change this but there is no way to change this in websitex5. Since I use websitex5 to make websites for customers it is very important for me otherwise i have to change the code in more than 20 websites.
I use website x5 v12 professional.
The link to the contactform is http://www.uwpcdokteruden.nl/contact.html
Kind regards
Johan

Hello johan,
On your form you have fields which require to be filledand the captcha and this not done with a spam bot but more probably someone is filling it out to send spam and there is no way to block it.
Many thanks!

Hello Claudio,
I know it's not a spambot but normally it should not be possible to leave the fields empty, if someone does not fill in the phonenumber or e-mail field wich are required it still sends the form. Also a simple space in the name field should not be enough. Is it possible to buld in a minimum amount of characters per field before the form can be sent and can you explain to me why the phonenumber and email fields are empty even though they are required?
Regards,
Johan
Hello Uw P.,
I tried to send from your form without filling the email and phone number but it was not possible. The phone number field requires numbers and cannot be left blank and the email field verifies if it contains a possible email.
Many thanks!
