No longer blocks words in ‘text’ or ‘textarea’ fields – CF7

    We are using Contact Form 7 (CF7).
    The Maspik Anti-spam filter has been working perfectly for ages, however in the last few days, spam has been making its way into our inbox.

    One of the fields, “required service” [text* your-subject ], does get blocked by the filter.

    But 2 other fields, “message” [textarea* your-message x3] and “name” [text* your-name] are not being blocked for spam words/phrases.

    Here you can see my test, where I have put words/phrases from our Maspik list into the fields of the contact form and tried to submit it, and it has only flagged an issue with the ‘required service’ field:

    Here you can see the form set-up, showing the field types: https://imgur.com/4BqXFac

    Here you can see the words filtered out in the Maspik plugin:

    hi @yonifre

    It doesn’t seem to be fixed..?
    I am on 0.10.3

    I retested the form and this time, only text in the ‘your message’ [textarea* your-message x3] field was marked as spam, when I removed that, it still let me send the test, even though there were blacklisted words in both Text fields: ?“required service” [text* your-subject ] and “name” [text* your-name]…

    so you fixed the issue with “textarea” but now the issue is with “text”
