Bypassing Image Validation

[marty]

I searched this, but couldn't find anything about it. Is there any way to bypass the image verification, so that people can be sent autoresponces without image verification?

Thanks,

Hi,

Well, anything can be done if you can write software.

But, we don't provide a way for FormMail to send email to anyone in the world (which is what auto responses do) without image verification.

Tectite FormMail has an unsurpassed security reputation, and we intend to do out best to keep it that way.

Thanks for the reply. I have one more question. Is there any way to set the image verification automatically, such as to derive that field so that it automatically always accepts it as correct without the user having to actually fill it out.

If this is not possible, do you have any idea why it is that if someone doesn't enter anything into the field it goes through correctly, but they don't get an autoresponse?

No, there's no way to do this (fortunately - if there was, then Captcha would be useless in protecting against bots).

This is by design. If the user doesn't enter the arverify field, then FormMail doesn't try to send them an auto response.

If you want to force them to enter the code, make "arverify" a required field.
