I highly recommend the CleanTalk

I highly recommend the CleanTalk plugin, it is simple to install, easy to use and very reliable cutting spam emails from your website and preventing them from landing on your in box. This saves you considerable time each day by not having to manually sift through spam emails coming via your website. Usually sent by hundreds of Robots that are scanning the web looking for vulnerable forms and email addresses. Anyone running or managing a website would be really silly not to use the CleanTalk plugin, I recommend it to everyone
