New JetPack Custom Contact Form Filters Email Spam Using Akismet

Jetpack which is a plugin developed by the company which owns WordPress, Automattic, has just released a new feature which creates and adds a contact form to your site.

The great thing about this feature is the fact all emails will be filtered through Akismet which is the best anti comment spam plugin for WordPress.

Another benefit of installing the Jetpack plugin is you won’t need to install another plugin to create contact forms unless of course you need a highly customized form like what you can build using Gravity forms.

Once you setup a contact form, you’ll see a link has been added to your admin screen where you can view the content of your feedback.
