I think I may have found the problem. in Configuration->Email, make sure "Email Friendly Errors" is set to "true". It was set to false by default when I upgraded to 1.5.3, but after switching it to true I have not had any spam message (going on 48 hours, knock on wood).

Spoke to early. After a break of a few days the spam resumed.

Anyway to make this compatible with version 1.5.3 and using Dover Fine Template?

Works without CAPTCHA... The built in honeypot in ZC 1.5.x works, however, too many times we talked about how it works and what the trap is. What works is to change the words 'should_be_empty' to something no one but you should know, even better, don't use correct spelling!

in... includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php
and..includes/modules/pages/contact_us/header_php.php

change to the same words in both files... any info request forms should be using honeypots... you need to change there wording too.

Is there a setting/configuration to make the verification work with the Honeypots? I changed the two files but it looks like an normal contact us form with no security? Maybe its the template for Dover Fine?

The trap is always active, no switch to mess with.

A normal looking from is what I'm after... no eye testing customers.
