 * Hi,
 * WordPress doesn’t have any captchas built into it by default, you may be thinking
   of a plugin, or perhaps another service that uses WordPress?

 * I got the same email today. Definitely worth checking the settings page for the
   specific plugin as Marius says above.

 * Akismet which is managed and developed by WordPress… I was confident it uses 
   reCAPTCHA

 * A fair assumption but not, it will be another plugin. They are frequently used
   alongside contact forms.
