    When Akismet reports that it has blocked 39,000 comments in the last five days, that actually includes all spam, whether it was comments or contact form submissions.

    If you install the Flamingo plugin for Contact Form 7, you’ll be able to see what Akismet blocks as spam in your WordPress dashboard (from this point on), just like you can see what comments have been blocked as spam by going to the Spam folder.

    Hi Christopher,

    Well… I did not get the number 39,000 from Akismet; it was the number of spam-comments WordPress reported on the Admin area > Comments page.

    In the meantime I looked into the Contact Form 7 code and it is clear to me now how this works. I might be able to use some CF7 hook to collect the information myself or, indeed, I could use the Flamingo plugin.

    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards,
    Henk
