 * Hi, since several months if wp mail smtp plugin is activated and configured with
   a valid smtp credentials I receive a lot of spam
 * I read in this forum and found other user with same problem but no solution
 * My webmaster enabled recaptcha but problem still occurs (also askimet is activated)
 * I don’t get how it’s possible if my contact form is like below (Name, email, 
   message, privacy policy and recaptcha )
 * [https://postimg.cc/p5BMRF2L](https://postimg.cc/p5BMRF2L)
 * And the layout of email sent is
 * [https://postimg.cc/CBLQkQYS](https://postimg.cc/CBLQkQYS)
 * I receive a lot of spam with this layout
 * [https://postimg.cc/tZwNJS4r/2874cc52](https://postimg.cc/tZwNJS4r/2874cc52)
 * Any hint ?
 * Thank you

 * I forgot to say that I see in visitor log of my website that spammers (bot) visited
   my contact page before sending spam so I’m pretty sure that there is a bug or
   something wrong with my config and spam is sent through that page
 * And I repeat That I don’t get how it’s possible if my contact form field are
   
   Name, email, message, privacy policy and recaptcha
 * I get email with
 * Only name and email fields

 * Obviously the spam message ([https://postlmg.cc/tZwNJS4r](https://postlmg.cc/tZwNJS4r))
   has nothing to do with any of the contact forms. It is likely to be sent from
   out of the site.

 * Sorry to bother you again
    To be sure to search in the right direction
 * Out of the site… even if the spammers visit each time the contact page ?
 * and this is content of an email
