Introduction

What does it do?

This extension allows to use the spam protection provided by the wt_spamshield extension to forms handled by the formhandler extension. Most specifically, it provides the following spam checks:

  1. Link check: You can configure how many links are allowed within a message.
  2. Unique check: Specified fields are checked for duplicate entries.
  3. Honeypot check: A non-visible input field is added to your form. If the field is filled the message is handled as spam.
  4. Akismet check: Akismet is a reliable and powerful online check to determine if a message is spam.
  5. Blacklist: You can set up IP or email blacklists.

The spam check is implemented as a formhandler Interceptor. Each spam check can be enabled or disabled, globally or on each individual form.
