When this matters
Most often the site lacks rate limits, CAPTCHA, proper SMTP sending or filtering traffic from countries and addresses used in the attack.
How to reduce WordPress form spam: CAPTCHA, rate limits, SMTP, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, WAF, Geo Block and log analysis.
Practical checklist
- enable CAPTCHA or honeypot in the form
- send mail through domain SMTP
- check SPF, DKIM and DMARC
- for a mass attack use WAF or Hostilla Geo Block
How Hostilla.pl helps
Hostilla.pl combines mail configuration, application security and country blocking, so spam can be reduced without disabling the form.
