CF7 treating mail as Spam
-
Contact Form 7 seems to be having major issues with email being treated as Spam
The form on my Contact Page now sends fine (after I disabled reCAPTCHA keys and then re-installed them)
But my ‘Registration Form’ submissions still gets flagged as spam.
I just installed Flamingo and the two test messages states that I have “reCAPTCHA score (0.10) is lower than the threshold (0.50).” or “reCAPTCHA score (0.00) is lower than the threshold (0.50).”I also notice that Ninja Forms (which was installed when I recently installed a new theme) states that Contact Form breaks reCAPTCHA for other form builder plug-ins and CF7 should be disabled.
(And yes I’ve read the FAQs, which as stated previously don’t actually provide much insight for fixing the problem)

I had the same issue and want to share my fix:
I kept getting the orang box which according to the CF7 documentation, meant that it was seeing it as spam. In Flamingo, all messages were marked as spam, even all the legitimate ones.
It was all working fine for several months, but seemed to be very random issue. After 2 hours of debugging, figured out that issue was that Google had become corrupt (pun intended) and so I deleted the recaptcha account for the troublesome site, (was using version 3) inside Google recaptcha admin and then recreated an entirely new recaptcha account for the site using V3 keys. Then remove the V3 keys from the CF7 integration and add the new ones and then test again….
Result: it worked immediately. Panic over! So recommend to try the above as a first stop!
Hope that helps you.
