Constant SPAM from contact form

[cjwnz]

I have a contact form with CAPTCHA enabled but I constantly get spam submissions that are obviously generated automatically.

How do I stop these??

How long ago did you publish your site, @cjwnz? Have you published since turning on the CAPTCHA option?

[cjwnz]

Yes published recently. Also just tested that CAPTCHA is enabled.

Overnight we received 4 more bogus registrations that are obviously automated.

The CAPTCHA should prevent the majority of spam from coming through. Can you post a link to the page with the contact form?

It might be worth publishing again, @cjwnz. It looks like the last time the site was published was over a month ago. 

[cjwnz]

why have you changed something your side? Because I know CAPTCHA is already enabled.

[Bernadette3]

Nothing has been changed, but the site has also not been published in over a month. The site is also on a custom theme which could be causing something in the code to not work properly, but the first step is to make sure the site is first recently published.

ok site published but made no difference. had 3 bogus registrations overnight.

since captcha not working, can I prevent @gmail.com and @hotmail.com addresses instead?

The CAPTCHA is effective at stopping automated spam, but it's hard to implement something to prevent actual human spammers from submitting junk. We don't have a way with our forms to block submissions where the email address includes specific domains. You might have better luck with a third party solution, though. There are some form options in the App Center, or you could try something like JotForm (@NJRFTF, does JotForm have any sort of options to block entries based on certain criteria?).
