spam via Moodle support form, and ways to prevent it

For the first time, I got some spam apparently sent via one of our Moodle servers. This forum thread describes the issue and the solution - 

Moodle in English: How to remove link to Contact site support to avoid SPAM | Moodle.org

Instead of commenting out, used the method mentioned lower down in the thread for Moodle 4.1 and above, by going to Site administration --> Server --> Support contact and changing the option to make it available only for logged-in users. Did the same thing for two of our production instances, too.
