Empty Formit messages come to my MODX admin email address

Hi everybody,

I have a simple Formit form [[+name]], [[+email]], [[+text]]. It works fine when I try to use it on a website.
However I (form recipient email) receive mysterious messages that come FROM an admin email address (admin email address for this MODX installation!). These messages formatted like my quick email chunk, have a correct subject line (as specified in Formit code) but there's no user data, just Formit placeholders as in a code chunk. The messages look like this:


Formit code is here:


So the questions - where are these coming from and why? Is it a security risk, spam related, do I loose my mail?
Please help !

I think this could be the ghost of QuickEmail, though it's weird that it would use the FormIt subject and tags. On one site, I got messages from QuickEmail even after disabling it. It eventually stopped and I never did figure out why I was getting them.

Lots of email extras will use the emailsender System Setting if they get a blank "email from" address.

OTOH, I guess it could be someone trying to hack your FormIt email form, though I don't think that's likely.

Thank you for quick reply, BobRay,

These emails come periodically 2-3 a day since website launch a week ago. There were only couple proper emails (from real users). Also, this is not my first MODX website; I've done dozens. I often re-use the same form code (most sites are similar in structure/purpose). There's no such a problem on other sites.

Here is the form page http://markusrutzmusic.com/contact-and-booking.html

This is my main concern:

I wonder if someone had a similar experience and what can be done to enhance security of your Formit form.

Thanks

maybe you can include the



maybe you can add some validation in the form before it's able to be sent, like:
