Invite Friend option gets spammed was created by Gretchen Ohmann
Hi! Has anyone had a problem with the Invite Friend option getting spammed? Someone hit the Invite Friend button 250+ times causing it to send emails to non-existent addresses and generating lots of undeliverable mail notifications. Happened just today. I turned off the setting and it stopped.
My question is, does enabling Captcha prevent that kind of thing?
Thanks,
Gretchen

Hi Gretchen
Yes. Enable captcha would help but from what I read, captcha is not 100% reliable (some smart bots could still bypass captcha - even if it is Google recaptcha)
So if you get spams, maybe disable that Invite Friend feature for now
