    Has anybody else had an issue with an excessive amount of spam making it past Real Simple CAPCHTA and Akismet.
    Appears to be from the same source.
    Classifying them as Spam does not help, because the emails keep changing.
    I am using WordPress 3.5. Maybe I need to update, but not sure if that would make a difference.
    I am running the latest versions of Really Simple CAPTCHA, Akismet and Contact Form 7.
    Maybe there is an easy fix that I am not aware of.

    The source’s emails show up as, for example:
    xfcidzj@gmail.com
    vlnjsqxu@gmail.com
    flbpxdxp@gmail.com
    and so on…

    The messages are all very similar. Examples:
    Buy Cheap Customized wholesale cheap Blue Jackets jerseys
    wholesale cheap Eagles jerseys china Review China
    Buy cheap Sabres jerseys Pay With Paypal
