    Hey guys, since updating to the latest version of Contact Form 7, I’m getting tons of emails, not spams, that are clearly meant to other websites! Any idea how to fix this?

    Here a couple of examples emails:

    From: <[email protected]>

    Message Body:
    I had a baby 7 months ago and neeedd to do something after she’s gone to bed, so this was perfect, great time and just round the corner I can walk. Heard about it starting near my home and as I love to dance (not very good though) and can exercise at the same time, this was perfect!First night, I was hooked and can’t wait to Wednesdays. Jo is a really good instructor and makes me enjoy it that much more with her enthusiasm. You can tell she thoroughly enjoys teaching it and we love learning it and keeping fit at the same time. Thanks

    Message Body:
    / That’s what makes Beck great, he creates and preducos what he wants not what he thinks will sell. For this reason alone is why he’s successful. I saw one of his shows in Kansas City and it was impressive.

    Hi Takayuki,

    TheZigZagger.com is my own website, and inmotionhosting.com is my host… but these emails have clearly nothing to do with me and I’m getting about 2/3 a minute!! This is what is in the To: field

    Message: I’ve held back on the upgrade from a 2.0.x to 2.1.x bescuae I figured there’d be more involved in upgrading the database, themes, plugins, etc If it’s as simple as the one I just did, I might go up in the next week or two.Josh has been playing with CSS layouts and the like and I was also a little concerned it’d break that too.The Fantastico upgrade path got broken somewhere along the way and it doesn’t recognise which version is currently installed now. Does it retain all the plugins/themes? There’s another couple of blogs on the server that are still linked in properly and if it migrates everything then that’d definitely be the way to go with them.BB

    They look to me like usual spams. Do you use Akismet or CAPTCHA?
