Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
Nope, the only thing you need is the plugin PHP file (and optionally the ReCaptcha library if using that). Once I’m happy it works as advertised I’ll fix the links and prepare a proper plugin installation file and register it with the central plugin repo.

If it is a bot, you may be able to stop it with pap_comconnect.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
Over the past two and a half months I have been getting an average of 3 to 4 comment spam messages per day, including those from our friend Jones…
Will try out the above suggestions once I got my new site running.
Thanks!

• MeijiShowa – Stock photos of Japan in the 1850s~1960s (100% txp)
• JapaneseStreets.com – Japanese street fashion (mostly txp)

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
If it’s comment spam, rather than contact form spam, then rah_comment_spam might still work. I run it on my site and it keeps a fair bit away.

In my case it is also contact form spam…

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
Thanks for the report. Sounds like it’s amalgamating all the headers and sending them as a single reply-to, oops. Will investigate.

Seems to work pretty well. So, no Captchas! Yay! :)
Thank you very much!

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
Can I set up a simple honeypot using com_connect (i.e. just a CSS-hidden field that if filled in by a bot will prevent the message send)? I’m getting a fair amount of spam emails through the contact form on my site.
Don’t want to go down the recapture route unless I have to.
Or any other alternatives? Thanks.

pap_comconnect, posted by Colak here works fine for me.

Cool thanks, I should have read the posts above mine 😂
Will install and see what happens.
