Spam Protect for Contact Form 7

Beschrijving

Spam Protect for Contact Form 7 is an awesome and easy-to-use plugin to block all those spammers (or bots) who fill out forms on your website.
The plugin adds an extra tab on each Contact Form 7 edit screen where you can add emails, domains and/or words and phrases that you want to block.
Spammers and Bots usually fill your Contact Form 7 and submit unwanted and useless data, ADs and contact information to you.
Their e-mail is usually from the same domain and they use common words to submit some sort of commercial marketing info.
Just add those emails, domains and maybe words or phrases in the block settings and block the form submission and show them a custom error message.
Periodically check the log file to see who and why is blocked. By monitoring the log file you can be sure you don’t block any of your real and valuable visitors.

FAQ

Is the plugin settings global for all forms that I have ?

No the settings are indepentent for each form. Each form has its own antispam settings.
But all of them the share the same log file.

It doesn't work, when you put a word or a phrase to block for input fields, it's still submits the form regardless, it works for word and email id. But it doesn't work for more than one word, like phrase (e.g. 'spam word') - it will submit form even if this phrase is listed among to block

Unfortunately, it's not working. I've attempted to add a few test case keywords to block (comma separated) and the contact form still sends the email successfully and provides a success message (instead of the rejection message). Checked the installation & use instructions but I couldn't find anything I'm overlooking anywhere. I'm pretty certain something's going on with the plugin but sadly I can't recommend it. It's a shame, as I'd love to use it as well as send a contribution to the author! I'll be happy to change my review score if something changes. Thanks.

only just installed, tested a little and looks/works great so far, so not sure how good just yet but easy to use and set up, will see how it goes, hopefully this will end all the unwanted spam, thank you
