Spam Submissions Flooding My Inbox
A sudden flood of junk form submissions is annoying and can bury genuine enquiries among the noise. Automated bots often target contact and signup forms, sending nonsense or advertising messages.
The good news is that effective anti-spam measures can stop the vast majority without putting off real visitors. This guide explains your options.
Why It Happens
Spam submissions are usually automated rather than personal.
- Bots scanning the web for forms to abuse.
- No spam protection currently on the form.
- An old or easily guessed form being targeted.
- Your address appearing on a spam list.
Ways to Reduce It
Several measures cut spam dramatically.
- Add an invisible check that bots fail but people do not.
- Enable a modern CAPTCHA that is easy for humans.
- Add a hidden 'honeypot' field that traps bots.
- Filter out submissions containing obvious spam links.
