Akismet letting spam going through Contact Form 7
-
Hello
I have a WordPress website with a contact form using the plugin “Contact Form 7”.
Years ago I setup Contact Form 7 to work with Akismet for spam filtering. Usually I get one spam message every months. But now since about 3 months, many more spam message get to my inbox through the Contact Form 7 form.
What’s happening?
Thanks
David

Ok thanks, but how can I mark messages as spam? Where is the history log of accepted messages?
Thanks

Hello, @davidsaber! It appears that the functionality you’re seeking should be configured within the Contact Form 7 plugin settings.
I came across a helpful article on the CF7 website during a quick Google search. According to the information there, you may need to install the companion Flamingo plugin to enable the “mark as spam” feature: https://contactform7.com/spam-filtering-with-akismet/
For any additional queries or clarifications, I encourage you to reach out to the Contact Form 7 support team at: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/contact-form-7/
I hope this information proves helpful and eases any concerns you may have!
