Yeah, injecting Akismet for all CF7 instances seems like it'd be the best. It appears that CF7 doesn't have a ton of filter points to make this easy. Worst case scenario, we could create our own version of wpcf7_akismet(), which would skip the wpcf7_akismet_submitted_params() check (since we'd be forcing all compatible params to use Akismet).

If you get time to look at this in the next couple days, that'd be great. Otherwise I'll see what I can rig up before the 1.11.11 release.

Cool, thanks, Ray!

Since each CF7 form can be different, based on the CF7 Akismet docs, I've only injected the akismet:author_email attribute since there is always going to be an [email] tag. We can't really determine what is going to be the author name or URL field, so I left those out.

Does this mean that all items will be sent to Akismet, because CF7 only needs to have a single Akismet-specified field to send the entire submission through Akismet? Or does it mean that only the email field is sent to Akismet?

Yes, this looks to be the case even though we only use the one akismet:author_email attribute for CF7.

The following was the query sent to Akismet as a querystring, I just formatted it a bit better for viewing here:

comment_author:

comment_author_email:
    test@test.com

comment_author_url:

comment_content:
    Test
