Why am I constantly asking to decipher a code when sending an email?

Question

I have to unscramble letters and numbers when I click send while sending an email message.

Answer 1

Those codes are called "captchas". They are used to prevent automated processes, like spam bots, from abusing mail systems and sending out millions of unattended emails. The theory is that a human needs to be able to read and repeat the code in order to send a message whereas a program or a bot couldn't do it.

Answer 2

That is to identify you as a Human and not a Computer Software. Normally softwares scan for address and compile spams for ahuge list and sends them which takes less than a minute and which cannot be done by a human very quickly. So, to identify whether you are a human or a computer, you have to decipher that word cause computer software are not that intelligent to find out letters from a picture.
