1. 🍯 JaJuMa Honey Spam Anti-Spam: Introduction & Key Features

Are you tired of deleting fake customer accounts, filtering spam from your contact forms, and moderating bogus product reviews? Virtually every Magento store owner faces the relentless challenge of spam, which wastes time, pollutes data, and can even pose security risks.

The JaJuMa Honey Spam Anti-Spam extension is the definitive solution to reclaim your store.
It provides robust, reliable, and intelligent spam detection that works silently in the background. By leveraging multiple sophisticated techniques, it blocks spam effectively without disrupting the user experience or compromising performance, allowing you to focus on your business, not on fighting bots.

1.1 🛡 Your Layered Defense: Core Spam Protection Techniques

Effective security is never about a single solution;
it's about a layered defense strategy.
This extension embodies that principle by combining several techniques to create a comprehensive shield against spam. Each layer is designed to catch different types of automated attacks, ensuring maximum protection.

• Honeypot (The Invisible Trap):
  This primary defense adds a hidden field to your forms that is invisible to human users but irresistible to most automated bots.
  When a bot fills in this "honeypot" field, the submission is instantly flagged as spam. This is a powerful, frictionless method that stops most common spam without any impact on your real customers.

• Form Submit Time Check (The Behavioral Guard):
  Humans take a few seconds to fill out a form. Bots can do it in milliseconds.
  This technique measures the time between when a form is loaded and when it's submitted.
  Submissions that are inhumanly fast are identified and blocked, catching bots that are programmed to bypass simple honeypots.
  It also acts as an "inverted honeypot," blocking submissions where the hidden time-tracking field has been removed or tampered with by a bot.

• Spam Scoring (The Intelligent Filter):
  This is the most powerful and flexible layer of defense.
  The scoring engine allows you to create an unlimited number of custom rules that analyze the content of form submissions.
  You can assign scores to suspicious patterns - like the use of specific characters, IP ranges, or keywords.
  If a submission's total score exceeds your defined threshold, it's blocked. This provides granular control to target even the most sophisticated and persistent spam attacks.
