Can I get contact form stats from Akismet?

    I added Akismet to Contact Form 7, to reduce form spam. It seems to have helped. Comments are turned off.

    The Akismet plugin interface displays a bar graph. Does that tell me how much contact form spam has been rejected?

    It says that the “Accuracy” is 100%. How was that calculated?

    Does “strictness” only apply to comment spam?

    Are any further stats available to tell me how Akismet is helping with contact form spam?

    Yes, if you have comments turned off, this graph would reflect how many spam contact form submissions Akismet has blocked.

    It says that the “Accuracy” is 100%. How was that calculated?

    Accuracy is determined by how many missed spam you submit vs. how many comments (or contact form submissions) Akismet checked. Since Contact Form 7 doesn’t have a method for submitting a missed spam, accuracy will always show as 100%.

    Does “strictness” only apply to comment spam?

    Yes, since Contact Form 7 has not implemented any code to deal with the discard response.

    @atarehman Which contact form plugin are you using? How are you adding it?
