heavy bots that sign up

[Irma]

Does anyone else have bot visits that add email addresses to the newsletter? I had to deactivate the subscription to the newsletter. According to ip, it comes from france and identifies it with magento.

You can try to change the button near subscription form from <a href="..."> to <button>.
Usually bots are dumb enough to skip buttons.

Or you can try to block that ip in your hosting panel

Thank you! I'll try to change the code and see how it behaves, I'll tell you later!

This is the code of button now.
<input class="btn btn-primary float-xs-right hidden-xi-down" name="submitNewsletter" type="submit" value="{l s='Subscribe' d='Shop.Theme.Actions'}">
I do not know how to change it exactly.

You can turn on verification email in settings.

You are welcome

The code change should do the trick. I had the problem when bots were adding hundreds of products to cart due the <a href="...">Add to cart</a> button. Once I've changed it to <button> problem was solved.

There might be a little workaround. You can make the form to submit by javascript, like this:

Though i didn't try this one yet so I can't proof it's working.
