Description

What methods are there to prevent abuse of this module for unauthenticated users?

I've seen discussions around CAPTCHA. Are there other available method such as a verification email to the sender?

I added my recaptcha via:

1. On the url: yoursite.tdl/admin/user/captcha
2. Check the check box: Add CAPTCHA administration links to forms
3. Navigate to the content type you previously designated for ecard to use
4. Select the Captcha Form link that should now show when viewing your your content type

(I have Recaptcha installed, not sure if that is playing into it)
