Spam emails via "contact us"

[Alvin63]

Been getting quite a few Russian (I think) spam emails via the "contact us" link. Not too many - maybe 6 a week so it's not too much of a problem. I just mark them as spam. But any way I can prevent them?

enable cloudflare turnstile for your bot check

Done that Is there some way I can test it?

load your form in a private browsing tab / incognito mode

I didn't realize I could do this. Cloudflare has a lot of options that are over my head.

Also @Xon's sign up and abuse addon can help with this along with his standard library addon

If you already use cloudflare then setting up CASM is very quick and easy - even I could do it lol

My site is wordpress and points to wpengine.com. My forum is xf.xxx.org. I added the 2 nameservers to the domain through web host manager. Is that correct?

 

[Alvin63]

I'm not sure. I had to get my server to help me with setting up cloudflare domain pointing. But the cloudflare nameservers need adding to the domain name registration as far as I remember. My domain name was registered at a different site to my server.

On Cloudflare itself, I seem to remember, you need to set the CNAME records to the ones your server gives you. There are all sorts of MX and TXT records as well. As I say I needed help from the server to set them all right (my email is via the same server).

I'm going to get my host involved. I have already made changed to point my main site to point elsewhere. I risk screwing things up.
