BotBlocker vs Send E-mail

Since the vast majority of WordPress spam is automated in nature, the goal of BotBlocker is to block comment spam bots and not hinder users. This is accomplished through the use of honeypot technology, which tricks the spambot into identifying itself by performing actions that a human could not. BotBlocker’s features include: Works out of the box to block spam Automatically stops spam-bots from commenting Zero hindrance to users: no CAPTCHAS, math questions, passwords or extra input required Zero false positives and ignores registered users Can be configured to completely block spam-bots or flag comments as spam Spam detection messages can be easily adjusted No javascript or cookies required Hooks into wp-comments-post.php to prevent spam-bots from directly submitting spam comments Should work fine with most customized comment forms No API keys required http://www.lform.com/botblocker/ for more information.

Add a contact form to any post or page by inserting [contact-form] in the post. Messages will be sent to the post’s author or any email address you choose. Or add a contact form to a text widget. Messages will be sent to the email address set in your Settings -> General admin panel or any email address you choose. Your email address is never shown, and the sender never learns it (unless you reply to the email). As seen on WordPress.com. This plugin was imported from Grunion Contact Form but it adds full internationalization using localized string from WordPress core. An e-mail signature block was appended to the end of the e-mail message containing the sender’s name, email address, website and IP and delimited from the body of the message by a single line consisting of exactly two hyphens, followed by a space, followed by the end of line (“– \n”). This signature cut line allows software to automatically mark or remove the sig block. Configuration The [contact-form] shortcode has the following parameters: to: A comma separated list of email addresses to which the messages will be sent. If you leave this blank: contact forms in posts and pages will send messages to the post or page’s author; and contact forms in text widgets will send messages to the email address set in Settings -> General. Example: [contact-form to="[email protected]"] Example: [contact-form to="[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]"] subject: The e-mail subject of the message defaults to [{Blog Title}] {Sidebar} for text widgets and [{Blog Title}] {Post Title} for posts and pages. Set your own default with the subject option. Example: [contact-form subject="My Contact Form"] show_subject: You can allow the user to edit the subject by showing a new field on the form. The field will be populated with the default subject or the subject you have set with the previous option. Example: [contact-form subject="My Contact Form" show_subject="yes"] License Send E-mail Copyright (C) 2011 Paolo Melchiorre This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
