# Stop databasing spam?

 * Is there a way to STOP flamingo from storing spam messages?
 * We keep a pretty strict diallow keys, and if someone fails the submission due
   to spam, it notifies them it was marked as spam regardless. Making a long story
   short, we have a graph that pulls the past 14 months into a widget on the dashboard
   so we can see month over month Contact Form 7 leads, but it calculates spam, 
   too. Every day or every other day, we have to purge the spam inbox to keep the
   graph accurate. It would be great if we could simply stop Flamingo from storing
   spam messages. Any help on this?

 * It is controllable with the [`wpcf7_flamingo_submit_if`](https://github.com/rocklobster-in/contact-form-7/blob/v5.9.8/modules/flamingo.php#L19)
   filter hook. Remove `spam` from the input array if you don’t need it.
