This free extension send the new messages from review and contact form to Akismet which identifies and blocks comment and trackback spam.
Our magento extensions helps you preventing spam on product review and contact form by using the Akismet web service to check if it's spam or not. If it is no spam you can moderate the messages in your magento backend.

We know it cost you a lot time to delete the daily received spam through the contact and product review form.
With our magento Akismet (Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short)) extension for magento no installation of CAPTCHA is needed. A CAPTCHA is not very user friendly and statics have shown that it can be cracked.
Also you must not install something difficult on your magento front-end like a CAPTCHA.
Here our „Akismet spam prevention for magento“ is the best solution to kill the spam. The smart code design of this extension reduce the size of your database entries and all spam messages are saved direct into a local text file.
Akismet is the biggest web service which is trusted by millions of WordPress blogs to help preventing for spam comments and trackbacks by automatically detection.
Every time you get a new review or contact message on you magento shop we submit this first to the web service of Akismet which makes hundreds of different tests to prove if it is spam or not. The result is that you don´t waste your time by moderating and deleting spam in your magento backend.

We have been plagued by spam product reviews on our eCommerce site. We have bought and tried many products that said that they would stop spam, filter spam, and none of them worked. We finally tried Spam Killer and it SOLVED our problems. The installation was simple and painless and it integrated perfectly into our Magento store. Since we have have this module installed, we have gotten 0 spam messages, when we would normally get 100+ a day! Great Product, and I would HIGHLY recommend it. - USAKilts

This tool is totally awesome, we where getting spammed every day with all sorts of nonsense. I don't really even understand why folks make bots to send that junk but Spam Killer solved the problem perfectly. I was going through the process of adding recaptcha and had done a few hours work to get it up and running. Then I found this, it took seconds to install and i dropped captcha completely. Thanks a lot mgt-commerce. I will be checking your site from now on to look at potential tools for all my magento stores!

I had a spammer/bot sending one spam email per day through my magento contact form to the site's owner. The site owner's mail server was recognizing it as spam and bouncing it back to my server. This had the potential to give my server a bad name as a spam sender. I installed Spam killer, created an Askimet account (had done this before for Wordpress sites), then tested with the content from some of the bounced spams. Askimet recognised every one as spam and refused to send them. Awesome! I have received no more bounced spam messages from my web site client's mail server for 4 weeks since installing Spam Killer. Human users of the contact form receive the same smooth Contact Form experience as they did before I installed the Spam Killer. Spam Killer solved my spam problem with no negative side effects, and its free.

We were getting (literally) 2 to 3,000 spam reviews a day - we now get 1 to 2 legitimate reviews that we have to sort through every couple hours, NO spam so far since installing. Couldn't be happier.

Akismet is next to nothing in this business. It is simply the best. Since I installed it and activated the key, never Recieved spams since then. That is far better than CAPTCHA or other services. Definitly recommended. Just remember one thing in the activation process : 1. First paste the key and do not click submit or activate button or whatever. 2. Second, click on Save 3. When save is done, now click on Submit or Test or activate button (don't remember the label of the button, but I am sure you get the picture). Cheers
