Contact Form 7 Recaptcha V3 Flamingo Message Status Spam Incorrect

Hi All

I have been struggling to understand why so many messages lodged via Contact Form 7 are being flagged as spam.

The sites I manage are mostly configured with Contact Form 7 using the Recaptcha V3 Integration and Flamingo Database of messages. I also have tried using a 3rd party Recaptcha plugin with the same / similar result.

I am not clear which of these plugins is actually creating the issue, but it goes like this.

If I check in Flamingo I can see that messages are flagged as spam and the status says that the reason is for ‘Disallowed words (ssss) are used.’ but the only place that the letters ‘ssss’ exist in the message are not the message itself but in the Recaptcha ‘approval’ string.

Can anyone provider a pointer on how or where a fix can be applied.

Thanks in advance

Tony
