   Hi there.
   I'm using wpcf7_before_send_mail hook to make a post with form fields. I also use CAPCTHA (default) at form.
   I noticed that if I use wpcf7_before_send_mail hook and provide wrong CAPTCHA post is created anyway.
   Couldn't find any documents with all CF7 hooks available. Maybe there are some wpcf7_AFTER_send_mail? How do I make some actions using "before send" hook only if CAPTCHA is accepted?

   What CAPTCHA do you use and how do you use it?

   Hi, Takayuki. First of all, thanks for the great plugin.
   I use CAPTCHA from CF7 admin (it asked to install Really Simple Captcha). At my form I output it like:
   <p>Numbers<br />[captchac captcha-556][captchar captcha-556] </p>
   And my code in functions.php:
   

   function my_wpcf7_save($cfdata) {
     $formdata = $cfdata->posted_data;
     $newpost = array(...);
     $newpostid = wp_insert_post($newpost);
     }
   add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_wpcf7_save',1);

   If I enter wrong numbers I'm given an error but post is created. So I have as many posts created, as many times person/spambot tries to submit form.

   If CAPTCHA validation get failed wpcf7_before_send_mail hook does not run. So it shouldn't create posts. Weird.

   Can you try to replay this kind of error? Make some form, try to apply hook and see?
   I mean is there my bug anywhere making it work this way?

   Is there any after validate hook to use? It's not critical to use wp_insert_post before or after mailing I suppose.

   I just tested your customization on the latest version of WordPress. Couldn't reproduced the problem.

   Do you have other plugins installed? I guess there is another plugin firing wpcf7_before_send_mail hook.
