Akismet not blocking spam now…?

Sometimes Akismet server gets out of condition temporary. Don’t care too much if it’s working now.

thanks Takayuki, I’ve been looking at other forum threads. And was hoping not to have to use CAPTCHA.

There is a suggestion to use:

Anyone tried using the Bad Behaviour plugin with CF7?

Can you provide any details on akismet.com not being available? I think you’ll find that the uptime for our API is very good – https://status.automattic.com/9931/136079/Akismet-API

Oh, I’m sorry, I was just guessing. The uptime of Akismet is very good. Thank you for the good info.

I’ve been having huge problems with Contact Form 7’s spam filtering, or lack thereof, recently. I’ve been using both CAPTCHA and Akismet, but have consistently continued to receive floods of spam messages through the system. I’ve now had to switch to a new contact form system.
