    I recently set up reCAPTCHA. I still get spam time to time. Interestingly for these spam messages in Flamingo I find the reCAPTHA fields empty: “recaptcha_challenge_field,
    recaptcha_response_field, Spam log: A reCAPTCHA válaszjelzés üres. (means recaptha response empty)”

    On the other hand for normal messages the reCAPTCHA fields are filled out properly.

    Is it ok like this?

    Thx, Attila

    Some spammers seem to use their custom HTTP client tools to submit contact forms, and unlike usual browsers, such tools seem to ignore JavaScript. This leads to empty reCAPTCHA tokens.

    If the messages with an empty token are obviously spammy, it means the bot blocker is working correctly. Totally normal.
