Spam protection with reCAPTCHA or similar #6

With only acbeo.fly.dev live we didn't have any issues with spam, but on acbeo.ch we had to require login for the contact form after a few days. Now we start to get quite some bots registered ...

Ideally, when we have the bots under control, we would have the contact forms public again, and also publish an email and phone number, at least for logged in.

Also, for damage control, don't send a copy with our email out.

reCAPTCHA turned out to be pretty much useless, as our bots didn't have JavaScript 🤷 Thus we started requiring JavaScript instead, and installed honey pots for good measure in ea5d571844ca6a778d2e1b4fadc53eddb5ace4b9. So far this worked great :-)
