Hi Jade,

Thanks for your message.

The honeypot combined with the anti-spam has been working well.

The only follow-up question I have is about the email summary report. For ages I′ve just been ignoring the email report, as the number of actual contact entries received has always been a lot less than the number stated on the report. This week I′ve in fact received only one or two, but the report said I received many. (On a related note, I′ve just tested the contact form and it seems to be working).

I imagine that the email summary report includes all messages “submitted”, including spam ones which are blocked by your spam filter and my server and caught by the “Honeypot”? (Before I clicked the “Enable Anti-Spam Protection” I used to receive loads of spam messages. The spam now has stopped, having recently enabled the “Anti-Spam Protection, but I wanted to check how the figure is calculated? The figure on the report has not really changed). Maybe I should just disable the email notifications, as this week I′ve only physically received one or two messages, but the report says many more?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jade,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Since ticking the anti-spam protection option, the situation seems to have got a lot better. Only time will tell, but I′ve noticed a massive reduction in spam since ticking that option. I wish I had ticked the box earlier!

I will see how it goes and hopefully no longer have a problem, but will install one of the suggested plugins if anything changes.

Thanks for your help,
Adam

P.S. Thanks in advance.

I have just noticed that there is an option for “Enable Anti-Spam Protection” I previously had not enabled on the form itself, which I have literally just enabled. I will see if this makes any difference, but the Honeypot option enabled clearly has not been working. Do you have any suggestions and how does the Anti-Spam protection work?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

That’s perfect, thanks.

Thanks once again,
Adam

I meant ‘it sounds like the Plugin collects no information at all ‘from website visitors’.

Best regards,
Adam

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I was more concerned with data being collected by the Plugin from people who visit my website, but it sounds like the Plugin collects no information at all, so that’s fine. (If I’m mistaken let me know).

Best regards,
Adam

Hi Simon,

Wow! What a quick reply. That’s great, thanks for such a quick and detailed reply. That has answered my question completely.

Thanks once again and thanks for a great plugin.
