AntiSpam for Contact Form 7 (cf7-antispam) free WordPress plugin by Codekraft

The antispam you’re using isn’t working well, is it? Maybe because it’s not using the correct method*** to stop the type of bot that’s attacking you, but I think I have a solution!
Antispam for Contact Form 7 is a free plugin for Contact Form 7 that blocks bots from flooding your mailbox, without tedious configuration and without captcha (which usually causes loss of conversions and sometimes are blocking for real users).
To do this we use different in and off page bots traps and an auto-learning mechanism based on a statistical “Bayesian” spam filter called B8.
CF7-AntiSpam works well and adds some functionalities to Flamingo. If both are installed Flamingo will get some additional controls and an additional dashboard widget will be enabled.

SETUP

Basic – install & go! No Configuration / keys / registrations required to get the antispam protection. In this case only some protections may be enabled like fingerprinting, language checks and honeypots.
Advanced – CF7A needs to parse the input message field of your form to analyze properly the email content with its dictionary.
So you need to add a “marker” to “notify” the antispam to check this field (you need to do this for each contact form of your website)
so you need to add ‘flamingo_message: “[your-message]”‘ for each additional settings panel of each contact form you need to secure. The method is the same as you use with Flamingo.
I know, this is boring but is required for advanced text statistical analysis, without this B8 filter will couldn’t be enabled.
GeoIP – (optional) Enable this functionality if you need to restrict which countries (or languages) can email you and which cannot.
In order to enable GeoIp you need to agree GeoLite2 End User License Agreement and sign up GeoLite2 Downloadable Databases, in this way you will obtain the key requested to download the database.
To find out more, read the information in the dedicated section of the cf7-antispam plugin settings and follow the steps.
