Support » Plugin: Contact Form 7 » no message filtering supports spam

  • excellent concept but does not have the filtering capacity that any basic programmer can built in. We’ve had to customize our version to protect our clients from spammers. There is no method for filtering by IP, email or bad keywords – and askimet is a $$ joke. So if you install CF7 any spammer can easily send you or your client a solicitation or harassing message and you will be virtually unable to stop them.

    I’ve wrote a function to filter Contact Form 7 to prevent spam and solicitation. Enter any combination of words or phrases that you don’t want people to put in your message body and it will tell spammers to go to hell. Contact me if you would like it – free.

    I disagree with your assertions and don’t see control of form spam as something “that any basic programmer can build[sic] in.”

    Rather I would recommend any of the CF7 extensions available that most experienced CF7 users use to control form spam in CF7.
