    Developed a WordPress site for a client and not too long after it went live, they started to receive spam emails. Not sure how this can be a WordPress issue but at this point I have run out of options to resolve it. The contact form being used is a CONTACT FORM 7 form. After my client informed me of the spam, I changed the forwarding email address, of the form, to my personal email address. I didn’t receive spam, yet they kept receiving it. I then deleted the form and they kept receiving it. I deleted the Contact Form 7 plugin .. they kept receiving it. Not sure how this can be .. any ideas? BTW .. WordPress and plugins are updated and I removed the staging and development sites.

    Check the header of the spam emails. Do they originate from your client’s website/server?

    Excellent point .. I told them that … I want to check that out but they would need to give me access to their email account, which they were not too thrilled about. I will definitely mention that to them again .. and thanks for reminding me.
