Formmailer will not send to email

[Mike's majestics]

In the code it has
<form method= "POST" onsubmit="return validate();" action="--WEBBOT SELF--"

I need action= ..to read.."gdform.asp"......but when I change it in the
code and save, it switches it to the "WEBBOT SELF".
My formmail was working fine up until a few days ago..all of a sudden I
stopped receiving emails off my form mail.

Right click anywhere in the form, choose Form Properties.
Select "Send to other" and then select "Custom ISAPI, NSAPI, CGI or ASP
Script" from the dropdown.
Click "Options" button and type in gdform.asp
Click OK, click OK.

In code or split view, confirm that onsubmit="validate() is still
present in the <form> tag

Second Question...I'm hosted through GoDaddy and I've been getting hit with robot spam. I'm not using a CAPCTHA(??) but I did put in a verify question( what is 2+2). I still get the spam. In the spams, everything changes(ex.. From,Email,Ques/Comment,etc...) however the "Find:" in my formmail is always the same(hhfgdgdf). I've asked the support at godaddy if they could put "Find" in the dropdown options box so I can filter my mail by using "Find". They said "No".

Is it possible to put a "Find" verify in my source code..just like I am
doing with the "2+2" question?
The only concern I have is that the robot computer is by-passing my
Comment Form now and is directly going through my Formmailer. I did however,
put my address in as ASCII. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! I will not be able
to reply/rate your response until later this afternoon.

The only reliable way to stop spam robots is to use server side
validation. This means writing your own form handler to enhance or
replace gdform.asp.

If the robots don't have JavaScript enabled, no amount of client-side
validation will stop them.

That's how the spam bots always work.

Can you explain what a "form handler" is please?
Is there an example available?

[Thomas A. Rowe]

A form handler is a server-side script that take input from a html form and processes it. It must be
written in whatever server-side script language is supported by the server hosting your web site.
You would just have to do a search for example, ASP Form Handler
