Hello,
I use the CB antispam plugin.
In the facts :
In invisible recaptcha mode. During a new registration caused the sending of more than 100 emails when the registration is set on corfirmation by email but not on validation by a modo. By changing to another mode and leaving the confiramtion by email, it normally works A single email sent.
in parallel I use a Joomla form with the invisible Joomla captcha, it still works well.
