   Hi, I'm using Really Simple CAPTCHA with Contact Form 7.

   Everything works fine, I have RSCAPTCHA/Contact Form 7 running on multiple sites. However this morning, I began getting spam submissions from one of my contact pages.

   The CAPTCHA is still working, everything displays correctly on the contact page. If I don't type in the correct characters, the submission doesn't take place.

   Not sure how they're doing it, but it is clearly computer assisted as all of the forms are gibberish and they're happening every five minutes for the past few hours.

   I looked into my site statistics where I can track IP addresses, etc., but there was no record of this (these) visitors, so I couldn't ban an IP address.

   Any ideas?

   Really Simple CAPTCHA is not so strong. It can be broken by capable spammers. I suggest using it in combination with Akismet and/or quiz fields.

   And, you can track IP address by using [wpcf7.remote_ip] special mail tag. Try it.
