    Hello,
    since a while I am receiving frequently email spam that is sent via the enfold contact form with enfold numeric captcha used.
    Spam mail comes with required checkbox: false . This should not be possible.
    Please assist in solving this.
    I don´t want to use Google captach. Please provide other solution.
    Thank you.

    Hey mebi,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    The default contact form element have only two options for security, the default number captcha and the Google reCAPTCHA option. If you want to avoid using Google’s captcha widget, you may have to improve the site’s security in other ways such as installing a security plugin like Sucuri or Wordfence to monitor the site and block harmful traffic. You can also use a different contact form such as Contact Form 7 and install a honeypot plugin to add another layer of security to the contact form.

    Hi Ismael,
    thanks for getting back.
    I am using already Sucuri, but it still gets through. Looks like I have to change the contact form then.
    Best,
