  Unfortunately, I don’t know a way. If you set it as Spam in your email, you risk ALL contact form responses going to spam.

  Thank you for the reply. Yeah…it’s weird. I’ve never had this problem in nearly 2 years with WP.com. It just started out of nowhere and I’m getting up to 15 SPAM contacts a day :(
