Contact form should respect Banned Emails list

[cwe]

So I just finished migrating my site from vB 3.8 to XF. We went live with the DNS switch yesterday. This morning, I have seven emails from the contact form inviting me to explore a world of sexy photo galleries, russian brides, etc.

I have a captcha in place, but apparently humans are dedicated to spamming XF contact forms or they figured a way to trigger the script that bypasses the captcha.

What I noticed though is that most of the emails I received this morning are from email domains that I have included in my Banned Emails list.

For example, I have *@mail.ru and *@yandex.ru in my banned emails list. Two of the contact form emails I received this morning were from those domains.

Suggestion: Disallow the contact form from sending emails from addresses that are covered by the Banned Emails list. I don't want them registering and posting spam in the forums. I also don't want them sending me spam directly.

yes a lot per day. but I am afraid that won't work in that case. I just think xenforo needed more security options for forum that's preventing it

Well that is exactly what the addon was designed to do, stop the spam emails bots generated via the contact us form.

It's not humans. It's automated. It's xRumer connected to one or more botnets. Captchas aren't a hinderance to them.

This should be on by default in my opinion.

It really doesn't make sense that banned e-mails can keep sending mail via the contact form.
