Details on the built in bfForms spam controls
 Check IP Address Blacklist Databases - Joomla Forms has integrated realtime black list database checking of the submitters IP Address against the "bl.spamcop.net", "list.dsbl.org", "sbl.spamhaus.org" servers - this cuts out the majority of well known spammers
- This option can be enabled/disabled and does not require any additional subscription
- Manual IP Banning
 - In addition to the IP databases, you can also specify manually IP Addresses to block, these users will not be able to submit forms on your site through Joomla Forms
- Word Blacklists
 - The ability to reject submissions that contain admin configurable words is also a great feature. Add in as many words as you like (drugs|sex|rock|roll) for example and then all form submissions that contain those words will be rejected
- Akismet Integration
 - Akismet is a 3rd party service that provides spam checking of form and comment posts. Akisment is probably the leader in their field at the moment, and you will need a valid wordpress key to use this service.
- We have fully integrated the Akismet API and all you need to do is provide Joomla Forms with your API Key
- Mollom Integration
 - Just like Akismet, Mollom is a 3rd party service that provides spam and quality checking of form and comment posts. Mollom is in beta at the momentbut we have integrated part of their API and you can activate this 3rd Party service easily within Joomla Forms, then Mollom will check form submissions for spamminess and quality.
- Our Own Transparent Spam Checks
 - Joomla Forms also contains hidden fields, and other spam controls. We are not going to shout about them here, but there over 5 other "things" we do to ensure that spam form submissions are kept to a minimum without any disturbance to the valid and real submitters. We don't want to reveal all our secrets direct on this page, so spammers will have to buy our product to learn the secrets :-)
