TOPIC: RSForms Pro Best Practices To Deal With Spam

RSForms Pro Best Practices To Deal With Spam 5 years 6 months ago #39538

I need some advice on how to set up RSForms Pro to deal with this kind of spam:

I am getting lots of sign ups on newsletter subscription forms that look like this:
First Name: YlpKdoBMkDXgQ

Last Name: zYIDSOdgNaKsoRT

Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (note - I removed this information for privacy but it's a real email address

Subscribe To Newsletter: No

From page: xxxxxx (note: I removed this information for privacy)

I have invisible captcha turned on and I am also sending the information to MailChimp for the double opt-in email verification which of course never comes.

What is your recommendation on the RSForms Pro set up that I should focus on? I would prefer not to get all these bogus subscriptions sent to me. I can delete them in the forms manager, that doesn't bother me, but can I suppress the form submission notification for these kinds of submissions?
