Ovidiu: Thanks for that link. I’ve installed the updated pxsmail-with-aksimet plugin, so far I haven’t had any contact form spam. Its only been 2 days though!

I’ll keep everyone posted on how it performs over the next few days. It might just be my solution though!

Daedalus: Check back in a few days and I’ll let you know whether you should follow my lead :)

Mark,
I had an excessive amount of spam when I activated that little contact form, sadly, however, I turned it off as a result – Will keep an eye on the comments in here.

hey mark,

I had the same problems but found a new modded version of the pxs mail plugin which incorporates an akismet check so if you’re using akismet or if you have an api key give it a try:

Hey Mark, check out this post: http://www.gottaquirk.com/post/181/an-alternative-to-irritating-captchas-
We’ve implemented this CAPTCHA free method quite successfully and seem to be one step ahead of the little spambots. Hope it helps.
