I have as well, a quick google of their email took me to this forum. Is there a way to blacklist email addresses?

Trying to figure that out. They’re spamming 3 of my clients sites. some other names as well but this one is the worst offender.

Ignore the sender email address, it’s not relevant here. Even in direct email it’s incredibly easy to change- but in a form it’s completely arbitrary.

If you search the forum you’ll find about 1 million messages regarding the spam problem and quite a few good solutions. Most of them involve switching how your forms are captured to a 3rd party form submission handler like Basin or FormSpark.

A few people have reported success by keeping Webflow’s native forms handler, but using special cookie consent configurations or specialized recaptcha/turnstile setups that involve some programming.

I personally found Basin to be the ideal solution;

what specialised recaptcha/turnstile setups are you referring to?

None I’ve used. Search this forum for turnstile and for recaptcha 3, google for recaptcha 3 webflow, you’ll fine a number of recipes people are using. Search for David Proler’s blog if you want to see his approach using cookie consent.
