WP Forms .xyz and .ru spam emails

  • tomsuke1 · Member ·

    Okay so I have WP forms, I have Recaptcha and the Honeypot activated but I will still get 8-10 emails a day or sometimes more from emails that are .xyz and .ru and its either Russian spam or trying to sell me viagra or whatever; what can I do to blacklist and prevent these?

    Since there’s no solid domain to these or an @ sign, I don’t want to blacklist ‘.ru’ in case it’s in someone’s email address, but this spam is getting too much and its affecting my business. My website is SucculentScribbles.com is there anything I can do to stop this spam? I also get comments as well (mainly from the .xyz) and those are manageable but it’s still VERY annoying.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
