How secure is the email/ contact forms in Website X5 Evo 9? I've had bad experiences with test runs on other programs and my e-mail has ended up spammed or compromised. In other words, is the program secure or do I have to add other code to make it that way?

In order to secure the email form, you can enable the captcha control; by this way there's no way to send you spam automaticaly.
You can find this option in the "Send" tab of the "E-mail Form" object.

Thanks for the response, but what I meant was, most contact form scripts are not secure and are prone to hijacking because of lack of coding. Spam bots can sweep through the coding and pluck email addresses.
Is the coding on this program secure even if you do not use Captcha?
Yes, your e-mail address is handled by a PHP file, it is accessible on server side only.
