 * I guess I thought this is what the “Auction Page URL” string in General Settings
   was for…

 * Never mind. I finally found another forum thread which suggested that the page
   was being cached. I added /auction-test/ to the exclude strings in WP-Super-Cache
   and now it works as expected.
 * Closing.

 * It was like that, except with a space between the colon and ‘m’. I removed the
   space. Would that make a difference?
 * I also changed the theme to the current Default Theme, as it said the one previously
   selected was “outdated”.

 * I cannot find Settings -> General -> Email Address (or Settings at all, for that
   matter). There is Form Options -> Email Options which shows the “send to administrator”
   address correctly, and that works.
 * The problem is not that address, as we always get the e-mails (since I set that
   address properly; it was not correct when I inherited the site). The problem 
   is us getting submissions which still have the default “ex: [myname@example.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simoneves/replies/myname@example.com?output_format=md)”
   e-mail field (with the “ex:” prefix!) and which are therefore impossible to follow
   up on. That text only appears as “Placeholder” in the e-mail field definition,
   set as Required. I don’t see how anybody is able to do a Submission without editing
   that to at least remove the “ex:” prefix.
 * I believe these are spam submissions from some bot. Here is a more obvious one
   we got the other day:
 * [spam redacted]
