Hello Mojo,

I know that forms online will always be subject to attempts to spam them.

That said, I do have recaptcha operating.

In the last two days, I have received a couple posts of porn messages.
In the past, when this starts it ramps up rather quickly.

Checking my server logs, I have ip addresses from all over, including a handful from India and China which are always suspect in my opinion.

I have not determined a method for connecting Contact Form submission to those IP's.

I suppose that I would have implemented my own script to capture data, but...

I have been depending on the fact that IP info is collected during the form submission.
Which brings me to the point.

a.) I receive emails with HTTP_USER_AGENT and IP info.
b.) I can click on View Messages on the top of contact form and see the message with same IP data...

However all ip addresses are the same... I believe the server my site is on.
Can you direct me on how to correct this?
I could not find any setting within MojoPortal to adjust this.

The following is the User Data on the last sets of folks which I know several of them to be from Arizona, Washington, Texas, Florida.

Any help is appreciated.

-Scott

Hello Mojo,

Thank you for following up.

In the past, I have been hit with people spamming my contact forms.  For that reason, I turned on reCaptcha, and was pleased that Mojo included ip of user.

While I don't know the difference in ip tags to explain, I do recognize that all show the same IP.

I am unable to determine from my logs, the particular IP of a give submitter on my home page.

I use RackSpace Moso Cloud.  Thus, their windows configuration may be part of the issue and can not be changed on their end.

That said, I have captured user ip on contact forms that I have built, on Mosso, both in .net and php enabling me to identify and ban users.

It also allows, if a contact form is used for Join Newsletter, for me to show proof of participation.

Can you share the filename or location I should look at that requests the ip address from user/host?

I can probably adapt and test.

Additionally, I have already tested a method, within MojoPortal instance which is getting and displaying true IP on same page as contact form, with the following external call:

<script type="application/javascript">
    function getip(json){
      document.write('Your IP Address is:');
      document.write(json.ip);
    }
</script>

<script type="application/javascript" src="http://jsonip.appspot.com/?callback=getip"></script>

Example can be seen at: http://mlmsoftwarecentral.com

If you suggest that I edit the contact form to receive from this script, I will gladly do so.

As always, thank you for your assistance.

MojoPortal is fantastic!
