I put my site online yesterday, and I'm getting lots of spam coming from the contact form, even when it has a recaptcha enabled. If I test submitting the form without passing the recaptcha, it correctly gives me a warning and doesn't submit the form, so I wonder how the spam are coming.
Hello,
We have just checked this out and the Contact Form submission appear to be working correctly. The standard Honey-Pot spam protection works and also reCaptcha 2. You can consider using reCaptcha 3 by using the contact-recaptcha-v3.html Template. But please note that SPAM Bots are always evolving. SPAM that are coming through are not really Bot SPAMs but can be Human SPAM which can’t be prevented directly. So, you can setup filtered words inside the include/form.php File. Simply find the $spam_keywords and setup your keywords.
Hope this Help!

That's weird. I have 3 forms in my site and all the spam is coming just from the contact form. Also, I got one with "viagra" word in the message text (check image attached). I guess this should have been catch by the form, since viagra is listed in the spam_keywords array.
