Hi! While developing a custom contact function and template and thinking about an elegant way to fight spam, the idea to use the xarSecGenAuthKey() + xarSecConfirmAuthKey() convenient pair srtoke me! Some spammers keep on posting data to the contact form action URL. Using the above functions the visitor has to request the contact page before submitting any data. What do you think? Is it safe to use this mechanism for non logged-in users? Or is it going expose the system to dangers by revealing the hash generation algorithm? Thanks in advance!
