* SPAM * Let's find a solution!

I would expect most of us are plagued by bots, cheap labor, and Rummer2.0 thwarting everything from Google reCaptcha, Honeypot fields etc etc...

I've not found a way to stop this though I have tried the following:
WebAssist Captcha
Google reCaptcha v3
Honeypot field
Creating a custom variable on the form page that needs to be present for the form to submit

Nothing works.

What I did see early on is tests from people using Xrumer. A bit of research showed this was a very effect application for submitting forms and bypassing captchas:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XRumer

It seems we (users constructing forms and using email sending from WebAssist) might be able to create something unique that Xrumer is not expecting?
OR it seems a review of the methods Xrumer and others use could help find a way to stop these hackers.

If anyone has found a way, please let the community know.
