If you are having issues with Spam on your site and Schipul has enabled CAPTCHA already, you can go to the emails section of the web site to block email addresses. To do this:

        1. Log into your Tendenci site.
        2. From the Tendenci console, click on Manage Users in the Admin Quick Links area.

        3. Look for Letter J. Email Utilities
        4. Click Number 2.) Email Blocks

        5. Choose Add an Email Block
        6. Enter the email address and email domain you wish to block. 
        7. Add a reason for the block (this is helpful information for administrator)
        8. Hit Submit.

The way it works:

When an email is sent from a Tendenci site (whether you are sending a newsletter to your users or a notification is being sent to you from the site) Tendenci goes through a function to send the email, it checks the email block list before any email is sent. If someone is listed on the email block list for your site, Tendenci will stop sending the email to that person and move on to the next email in the queue.

If the spam is coming from the contact form, Tendenci will still respond to the spammer by sending them to the contact confirmation page like it would any other person. Hackers go through a long period of research and testing before they actually try to breach the system so we don’t want to give them any indication that they are doing something wrong and causing us to block their email. The difference is that you will not receive contact form confirmations from this person.
