 * Hi, There actually is a secret/hidden token on the form. My hope was to prevent
   spam without needed a captcha. I have thought about it as an additional option
   though. Are you receiving spam messages through the form? If so I would definitely
   be interested. Adding a captcha is not a huge deal, but if the current system
   is working that is even better! Thank you for the feedback.

 * Hi Jason,
    Thank you for your answer. Yes, I have 2-3 spam mails with the form
   every day. I saw your hidden token in the plugin Editor 😉

 * I agree, adding captcha, read “reCAPTCHA”, would be very nice… I have a online
   form for almost 3 years… and not a single spam message! In my case it was a formmail
   altered version where I added the reCAPTCHA and since then no more problems their.
 * Could not be enable by default, but if needed…

   options.

 * I’d like to also suggest reCAPTCHA. But on a positive note, it works great. The
   name SimpleSecure sounds so familiar. I remember a CGI script many years ago 
   called Simple Secure. It was a modified version of Matt Wright’s Formmail, but
   it allowed the messages sent through the form to be encrypted with PGP similar
   to the way this one seems to work.

 * Hehe, yea I wrote the original SimpleSecure in Perl. This is basically a re-boot
   of that script!

 * @ Daniel Stahl
    I assume you are addressing Jason? I have not seen any response
   to my question Posted 1 month ago 🙁 Out of necessity I found another solution
   to my spam problem not requiring the SimpleSecure plug-in.

 * I just added this in version 0.0.6 – using google’s free reCAPTCHA service. You
   can find it in the Settings page for SimpleSecure. Adding your reCAPTCHA Site
   Key and Site Secret will enable reCAPTCHA on your forms.
