SPAM email sent

I seem to receive a lot of spam email from a page that uses CSS Form Builder.
The email should be sent only when a submit button is pressed which is also linked to a captcha.

documents_details.php?documentID=77&author_surname=Harvey

I need to fix this. It only seems to happen on the document part of the site and not on other part where the same script is used

I tested you page and can only send it if I fill in the captcha properly, so the validation is working.

captcha is used to prevent automated scripts for ending your form, it cannot prevent a real person from filling in the form though.

since the captcha is woking as it should, it would mean a real person is responsible, it's a bit more difficult to prevent a malicious person from filling in your form.

I see you are also displaying the comments on the page, so you must be storing them in a database. in your comments table, add an ip address column, bind this to the REMOTE_ADDR variable in the Server bindings collection to store the ip address of the user making the comments.

when you start getting spam messages, you can look up the email address in the comments table, and match it to an IP.

you can use an htaccess rule to prevent that IP address from accessing your site in the future. see the following for more details:

Somehow though someone/something is bypassing the CAPTCHA and send this kind of email on a daily basis.

Dear ,
A new comment has been posted to your presentation on the Scipt site.

Comment: I like the valuable iafirmntoon you provide in your articles. I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here frequently. I am quite sure I will learn lots of new stuff right here! Best of luck for the next!

That's exactly the structure found in the WebAssist file in the Webassist/email folder.
I have attached a copy here.
How do i prevent someone to hack into the file and post spam?

you cannot prevent a person from filling in the form with spam, captcha can only validate that an automated script is not sending the spam.

It's not posible to prevent a live person from filling in the form and filling it in with spam unless you prevent all people from filling in the form.


you can record the ip address like i explained earlier, and ban IP addresses if they send you spam

You have mentioned that already and I have monitored the database, but nothing gets written in it so they must bypass part of the webassist script and just use part to spam.

The messages are not created by a person, if they were and everything worked we would not receive auto generated spam, so please have a look at the files I sent and see if there is something I can modify to stop this

Cheers
