My website has a "Contact me" form.
I get these about once or twice a month. Just nonsense, usually followed by another one that's just blank. Been going on for quite a while now. Is this a web crawler/spider whatchmahcallit thingy checking to see if my contact form really works? An alien named "sammi"?

Spam bots. You need to add CAPTCHA to your forms so that the bots can't get to them. Here's an example: http://www.daytonthermalinspection.c...n-request.html (look at the bottom of the form)

Hi Dominic,
Other than the occasional wierd e-mails what happens if the bots get to my forms? Kenton Shepard, InterNACHI member # 04082383 Certified Master Inspector (CMI) EXPERT WITNESS Director of Green Building Director for International Development (303) 717-8940 (303) 258-8289 |

If you have no security holes in your form, nothing. Often they are probing for vulnerabilities to take over your server.

Hahaha
I remember asking Dominic the same thing last winter. Wish the clients filled them out as often as those bots do. |

One more problem that can't be solved with a rock and a stick. I was born 14,000 years too late.

I had those as well on my website and the captcha works. I have not seen a weird one since then.

I've built it into our website form creator. If you don't see it on your site let me know. You had one of the first sites we set up and I have to manually active it on those sites.

Ok good. You'd have to ask Roberta to add it into her system then.
