 * Hi there,
 * Since few weeks we’ve been receiving spam through our contact form, which is 
   using contact form 7. The CF7-Version is Version 4.9.1.
 * I’ve enabled the anti-spam settings in cerber anti-spam for login, registration,
   lost password and comments – There is no option for contact forms in general,
   but if I understood the plugin description correctly, it does it automatically.
 * Do you know, what the issue might be?
    Looking forward hearing about your suggestions.
 * Best regards,
    TNRFX

 * Hi!
 * For a contact form you need to enable this option: “Protect all forms on the 
   website with bot detection engine”.

 * Hi Gioni,
 * Please excuse my delayed response!
    This option was checked since the begin, 
   unfortunately we are still receiving multiple spam emails a day via the contact
   form 7 on our website.
 * On login forms and on other places the little recaptcha-logo on the bottom right
   is showing. This is not showing up on the contact page ([https://esport-battlefield.com/contact-us/](https://esport-battlefield.com/contact-us/)).
 * Do you know, why this is happening?
 * Best regards,
    TNRFX
