Submission pre-parser still sending email

[designandetc]

Ben,

I upgraded to the latest version of Formtools (2.1.3) and the latest version of the Submission Pre-Parser module (1.1.1) and after creating a couple rules, the spam has stopped!

First:
I am using the "formtools_ignore_submission" key.
Here is my rule:

PHP Code:

if (!empty($_POST["name"]))
  $_POST["form_tools_ignore_submission"] = true; 


My "honeypot" field is coded like this:

PHP Code:

<div class="honey">
<input type="text" name="name" value=""> 
</div>

.honey{display:none;} 


Notice that i used "name" as my field name. I figured the bots would see that as an important field to fill in.

Second:
I changed the names of my fields to their "backwards-selves". i.e. (city = fytic, and email = fliame). This was to avoid bots looking for specific field names from entering data in my fields.

Last:
I made and additional rule in the Submission Pre-Parser module that will ignore any blank submissions. This is for two reasons. First, because if a visitor or a bot were to submit my form without filling in any field, I'd get a blank submission. Second, my initial problem was that even with the above Submission Pre-Parser rule, Formtools was not recording a bots submission but it was sending a completely blank email.
Here is the second rule:

PHP Code:

if (empty($_POST["feman"]) && empty($_POST["fliame"]) && empty($_POST["fenohp"]) && empty($_POST["fegassem"]))
    $_POST["form_tools_ignore_submission"]= true; 


Thanks for your help and I hope this will help someone else avoid spam bots submitting to their form!
