    Hi,

    I have one my 404-page a eForm contact form with Captcha enabled. Since a couple of days I get spammed via this form. Can I somehow tighten the security on this?

    Thanks.

      Unfortunately, Captcha forms can be machine-decoded, and it looks like you’ve run into that.

        For a site with <20 visitors per day, I get a lot of spam. Are you saying that it’s just bad luck the spammers found my site? I would assume every Modx site with eForm (or general captcha) protection gets spammed, or do you use other measures?
