spam protection

Inbox defense system

Spam protection refers to measures that prevent unwanted bulk messages—typically automated advertising, phishing attempts, or malicious content—from reaching inboxes or online forms.

Email services filter spam into junk folders; websites use CAPTCHAs or honeypots to block bots.

The contact form has spam protection, so you'll need to check a box proving you're human.
