 * We have seen a huge increase in Spam beating the honeypot system we use on CF7
   forms.
 * I can see Flamingo stores the IP address of form submissions – But if I click
   Export – The export does not include the IP addresses.
 * Is there a way to include these in the export file?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexport-ip-addresses-of-form-submissions%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Why do you need to export IP addresses? Why don’t you think about protecting 
   the forms from spam?

 * Server resource – It is a bot attack taking up server resources – The honeypot
   has been 100% effective until the 1st February 2026 when the attack started.
 * I need the IP addresses so I can feed them into our WAF.
 * This attack has hit our entire server so I need to export the IP addresses so
   I can check their origin and add them to the firewall in bulk.
 * Any way I can get the IP addresses out in bulk?

 * A honeypot is not a spam protection. It is for collecting insects.

 * This has not been resolved. You have completely ignored my request.

   smarmy response!
