 * Hi dear Contactform7 team,
 * first off, I love working with CF7, because it is easy to manage and handle.
   
   I do have a problem now though: When using the form – filling it out and pushing
   the send button, the orange message box appears. And yes, I know, that this means
   spam or the message is looked at as spam, but I do not know why. I have no “blocking
   words”filed. I am really at the end of my nerves with this 🙂 I am using Impreza
   6.8 with WP Bakery on WordPress 5.5.3. The PHP Version is 7.3 or higher. Recaptcha
   3 is also installed and working. I really have no idea, why this is not working.
   Maybe you have a hint for me? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you so
   much and have a nice day Greetings, Cora

 * Try switching to the default theme and deactivating all plugins excluding Contact
   Form 7.

 * Hi,
 * I really do not feel comfortable doing so.
    I need almost all plugins to show
   the website as is. Is there no other way, you can help me? If I listed all my
   plugins, maybe you could hint me to the one, causing problems? Sorry, but my 
   boss would kill me, if the website got damaged in any way 🙂
 * Thanks so much
    Greetings

 * I have the same problem.
    Before it did not happen, I think it is due to one 
   of the updates.

 * I also have the same error – Google chrome and Firefox works perfectly but when
   I try to submit via Safari this message appears

 * Hi,
    I have learned today from my boss, that he is receiving the mails, sent 
   via CC7. But why does the orange error box – which declares message as spam- 
   appear then? Potential customers will think that their request did not work, 
   which is not really helping business. 🙂 Do you have any ideas?
 * Thank you

 * Me again 🙂
    I have found the solution for my specific problem. I “renewed” the
   Recaptcha key for the website. Everything is working normal again now.:)
