Viewing Secure Contact Form

Secure Contact Form



User: Stefan G. 7 years ago
I am using the advanced contact form widget provided in EverWeb and I am receiving a lot of emails from advertisers and sales people. I have not setup the SMTP settings (Server, username, password, etc) through my website (www.artthatsings.com) and I would like to ad some sort of secure contact form that would filter out such emails. I realize that I get emails from people who picked up my business card at one of my art exhibitions, or got my contact info from social media, etc., but I would prefer to eliminate the possibility of unwanted emails coming from my website. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to install a secure contact form? Appreciate the help!

If you have made your email address public, that's where the bulk of the spam is coming from.

You will get very little spam via a contact form. Set up a new email address for it. You can add reCaptcha but this just stops a lot of visitors from filling out your form.

Roddy,
Thank you for the reply. I had the same thought and I think you're right about the reCaptcha. After all, the idea is to not turn customers away!
Do you know if there is any advantage to completing all the SMTP settings? I have setup most of it, except the server, username, password, info.
Thanks!

You would need to ask EverWeb Support about that.

You are more likely to receive the email if you have the contact form info set. Some servers will not deliver the email without them entered.
