    Hi there,
    It’s a week now since I started getting spam subscribers. What I can not understand is how they manage to make auto-subscriptions even if there is no public newsletter form (not that I know, at least!). The only way for a user to signup for the newsletter is complete a purchase on the website and opt-in for the newsletter.

    Turning on email verification doesn’t help because a) they don’t belong to any list, so I would never send them emails in any case; b) verification emails get bounced back because those emails are in spam lists.

    See screenshot here:

    So I’m wondering: how did they got signed up?

    Thanks!
    Have a nice day,
    Stefano

    We’ve just released MailPoet 2.8 with ReCaptcha support, this should help.

    Try to enable captcha even if you have no forms, it should block the spam.
