I have already contacted MS 365 and they've tested it backwards and forwards and don't think their service is the issue. What could be the problem?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Eve </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-entry-marked-spam-results#post-301226 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 10:06:18 +0000 blakemiller 301226@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm a new Authorize.net plugin user (have been using GF overall for about a year though) I have a basic payment form setup and working well. But one payment didn't come in after the user notified me. After digging, I found that the form entry was marked as spam. Not sure if it was a WP thing or a GF thing. Anyway, the form was taken in by the system but 1) no email notifications were sent out and 2) it appears the payment was never processed. I assume this means that the entry is pretty much dead? And I should have user repeat it? I've never had this happen, and WP in general has been pretty good with false positives.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Blake </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/trackback-spam-on-gravity-forms-pages-problem#post-230115 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:38:47 +0000 omaether 230115@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We have started getting Trackback Spam on all of our Gravity Form Order Pages. </p> <p>We get emails almost daily now to moderate "comments" like this "Please moderate: "Order Drapes Diamond with Trim"<br /> A new trackback on the post "Order Drapes Diamond with Trim" is waiting for your approval"<br /> But these are not posts they are order forms.</p> <p>Trackbacks are turned off for blog posts, but I do not see a way to do that with the Gravity Form.</p> <p>How can we stop this Trackback Spam on all of our order forms? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/entries-not-saving#post-52269 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:41:28 +0000 sbruner 52269@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Entries stopped saving around early December 2011.

I can't say exactly *when* the issue started because she's one of those that sees a problem, tries to fix it (which means I have to go back in and fix a BUNCH of stuff she "fixed"), and then forgets to tell me until months later. </p> <p>We have several Gravity Forms on the site, and all are working fine - she gets all the notifications when someone does whatever with a form.</p> <p>BUT... we have one form that is used for membership. It's using the user Registration and Paypal modules together with a custom form to collect data for a directory. When we set Paypal to only create a user and send a notification after successful payment, it's not happening anymore. (but if we uncheck those boxes, the user is created and the admin is notified - but they'd rather not do that because they don't want a user to be created until AFTER the payment has been successfully made).</p> <p>We suspect something's happening between Paypal and the site, but it's REALLY odd, because she finds out someone has registered for the site because Paypal notifies her she's gotten a payment. So the payments are being processed just fine through the form, and the info is being saved in the back end of the site as an "Entry" to the form. But notifications from the form are not sent, and the user is not created for some reason. Payment is processed fine, and the end user is returned to the site like they should be (as a successful transaction), but the notification isn't sent and the user is not created.</p> <p>Anyone know what may be going on here? Any insight would be appreciated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/recaptcha-blocked-on-https-page-in-ie#post-152395 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:00:14 +0000 vostn 152395@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Our recaptcha elements on our form pages have started to be blocked on pages in IE. Our forms are HTTPS, and IE blocks the recaptchas because they aren't secure content. We have seen a significant drop in volume from these forms in the past few months, and now I'm guessing this is the reason.</p> <p>Here are the pages in question:<br /> <a href="https://vostn.com/referral/" rel="nofollow">https://vostn.com/referral/</a><br /> <a href="https://vostn.com/new-patient-form/" rel="nofollow">https://vostn.com/new-patient-form/</a><br /> <a href="https://vostn.com/medication-refill-form/" rel="nofollow">https://vostn.com/medication-refill-form/</a></p> <p>How can this be fixed? Do we even really need recaptchas? I put them on there because it seemed like a good way to block spammers, but how necessary are they for security?</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/552-msg-rejected-as-spam#post-144150 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 10:32:39 +0000 matt.bowman 144150@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Lately most of the contact form emails sent to my clients (especially ones with GoDaddy or that use Norton AntiSpam) have been getting rejected as "552 msg rejected as spam" which from what I gather means the messages are being rejected because the content of the email sees SPAMMY to the ISPs but the emails only contain the contact info from the person who filled out the form so does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?</p> <p>What content in a Gravity Form email would be causing ISPs to think the email is SPAM? </p>
