reCAPTCHA Spam Prevention

Unicity CMS supports reCAPTCHA on both forms and Unicity Mail forwarding to reduce spam.

Unicity CMS has built in protection against automated comment spam using a wide range of techniques. However, for more advanced protection, reCAPTCHA support is enabled in Unicity CMS 4.05.

Scroll down the Settings menu and click on Spam Prevention:
