I have two live sites hosted at Hostgator.com and one development site. All 3 are drupal7 sites and all webforms, forms of any kind are set up with Captcha 7.x-1.0-beta2; Image Captcha 7.x-1.0-beta2.
All 3 sites's domains are registered at GoDaddy, the 2 live sites have the name servers pointing to Hostgator. The dev site is under Hostgator's "domain" ie the numerical URL and "~/pia". The domain name is live and an old site is still up there.
One live site uses email addresses in a combination, some ending in ".net" which are processed through Godaddy; the ".com" processed by Hostgator.
The sites were previously hosted at GoDaddy and had no issues with spam. Since hosting with Hostgator there is an ongoing issue with Spam. Even though the forms are **all** have Captchas enabled, submittals of the form are happening and I am getting floods of spam telling me that gibberish so and so has applied for an account. Occasionally, I get a filled out actual form where the different fields are filled out with gibberish or URLs pointing, mostly, to pornographic sites.
How is this happening? I have been told that robots are not capable of deciphering an image but possibly math. That's why I have changed every single one to image captchas.
I have talked with Hostgator numerous times, but so far they have not been able to solve this. I have even been warned by them of all the spam!
