Trying to solve some issues

Ciao @wendihihihi!
Blacklist and dictionary are stored as a table with this names

$table_wordlist  = $wpdb->prefix . 'cf7a_wordlist';
$table_blacklist = $wpdb->prefix . 'cf7a_blacklist';

(anyhow tbh, if you are looking for the issue about resending emails, you may want to look here.)

Yes, of course. I didn’t check the database first; that was not so smart, but I also didn’t have too much time. Thanks, Erik.

I will post my findings on GitHub later, okay? Building a list of things I found.

I’ll compare the CF7_AntiSpam_Admin_Tools.php file over the weekend. See what’s added/changed.

Today, I had to dig into the plugin a bit, and what I found was quite impressive. You should see if you can also create a stand-alone version for all users, not only the CF7 users. It’s kind of a bit like what NinjaFirewall doesn’t for security. That team is really great!

I will probably look at your plugin more in the coming weeks. I’ll let you know my wish list if I miss something.

I am happy with the progress of this plugin.

I will post my findings on GitHub later, okay??

Sure, any kind of contribution is greatly appreciated!

this is something I had thought about, as well as protection from spam comments… but it would be a bit beyond my control because I have no way of checking whether mine works well in all other plugins. So I thought, at least I thought so at first, that it would be better to focus on a more specific target and provide a “proper” integration with that. I use CF7 a lot in my websites, it’s OSS and I would only want to do things in this direction.

I’ll try to post it on GitHub today.

Yes, I agree. It’s better to focus on CF7 first. Since I am using it as well for my websites it is definitely serving the purpose. Crazy the amount of spam there is. My previous host provided a spam filter, but the current one sells it and I didn’t take it yet. Your plugin stops (too) many of them ??

About the antispam that is too “aggressive” i know and i’m working to get the results as normalized as possible. currently the spam rank is linear, calculated as a sum of the spam check results but it would be better to have a “proportional” spam rank based on the amount of failed tests since a bot will not fail a single test. This is on the agenda but I have to revise some of the plugin code…

Anyhow It will definitely be done because at this point it is crucial to get reliable results. Below the tracking of this issue so you can know how is going
