Spam is getting through honeypot

    Hello,
    I’ve read in different topics where this plugin does not require captcha because of the honeypot method. Even with the honeypot method though, I am still receiving some spam.

    Can you guys add an option for Google recaptcha?

    Very much appreciated, thanks 🙂

    Hi @jeffyun123,

    Thanks for your input on this. I’m still not 100% convinced that the spam is coming from the form, however I can see this is a popular feature so we will look to add it soon.

    One way to check where the spam came from is via the spam message itself. In the message, do you see the User-Agent string in the footer like this? If not, it means that the spam has come from an email address rather than the support form. Would you be able to check that for me on some of the spam messages you have received?

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply. I’ve checked about more than 5 of the spam messages and they all contain a similar string at the end of the message that you’ve shown.

    I hope this helps. Thank you.

    Thanks for checking that for me. In that case we’ll look at adding this to a next update. Please allow a couple of weeks as we are busy and this is a free plugin, but we’ll do our best to get it ready asap. It has been a long awaited feature 🙂
