Change log

1.0.0

  • Initial version

1.0.1

  • Fixed bugs in saving settings.
  • Added message field name to change which field is filtered in the contact form 7 form.
  • Changed filter to work in the skip_mail filter rather than the before send action because in before send the skip_mail property has been made private so we can’t set it if needs be

1.0.2

  • Checks for blank messages and counts as spam if found. This is because spammers are now putting their message into the subject and leaving the message blank

1.0.3

  • We were filter_santizing_string’ing the CF7 message before counting links. The problem is that if there are spammy links like example then the filter_var removes those and they’re not counted (not present)

1.0.4

  • Added an icon to the assets directory

1.0.5

  • Added an icon to the assets directory and fixed a typo

1.0.6

  • removed assets directory incorrectly placed in trunk

1.1.0

  • Added in option to send blocked messages to dnsbl.softsmart.co.za for review and addition into that block list
