Every time a listener sends a message through your contact form or leaves a review on your website, Podpage automatically screens it for spam using Akismet, an industry-standard spam detection service. There's nothing to set up and no extra cost.
What happens to spam
- Content that looks like spam is labeled as spam and kept out of your email — you won't get a notification for it.
- Flagged content is still stored in your dashboard, so you can review it and rescue anything legitimate.
Where to find flagged content
- Contact form messages: go to Engage Listeners → Contact Form → Messages. Spam messages are labeled, and you can click Not spam to restore one that was flagged by mistake.
- On-site reviews: go to Reviews → All Reviews and open the Spam tab.
Tip: You can also block specific words or phrases from your contact form — see blocking words on your contact form.
