We're getting inundated from bots filling in the "Contact" page on our Skadate software! I think it is CRITICAL for the next release and all future releases to have a "captcha" area on any CONTACT page that sends an email!
These bots are filling in the information on our "Contact" page. That causing our server to be flagged as a SPAMMING server. These messages are bouncing back from the email address the bots fill in.... which of course sends a VERIFICATION email to that email address to "Confirmation email". Here's a sample:
========SAMPLE of RETURNED CONFIRMATION============Subject: Warning: message 1Jh8jv-0004Sf-Ub delayed 72 hours
