Anti Spam Form Features
The sending of unsolicited email is an ever increasing problem on the internet. Spam bots continually harvest email addresses posted across the world wide web. In addition relentless spammers, intent on filling your inbox with junk, set up systems to automatically submit web forms. Fortunately Mail My Form provides many useful features to both free and upgraded users to help keep spammers away!
Hide Your Email Address
With Mail My Form your email address is not shown anywhere on your form page, not even in your HTML code. There are many form processing systems that require you to have code like this on your form page:
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="your_email@yourdomain.com">
This makes it very easy for automated spam bots to harvet your email address. With Mail My Form your email address is not shown anywhere on your page and so is safe from harvesting.
Block IP Addresses
Getting spammed by the same users? Mail My Form allows you to block unlimited numbers of IP addresses, including partial IP ranges.
Advanced CAPTCHA System
Mail My Form offers one of the most advanced CAPTCHA systems available for any remotely hosted form system. CAPTCHA works on the basis that humans can read certain images, but automated computer systems cannot. If you enable CAPTCHA on your form a random number image will be displayed to your user like the ones below. Your user must then enter the correct number before they can submit your form. This can help dramatically reduce the number of spam submissions via your form.
