Locating a “spammed” message

The Inbound Spam Queue

For incoming messages to the committee, our website applies a number of anti-spam measures, including:-

• Hiding committee members’ email addresses from the Contact Page.
• Applying a “honey trap“ technique that spam-bits invariably fall into.
• Passing incoming messages through the free Akismet Anti-Spam Testing Service.

If an incoming message passes these tests, it is forwarded to the appropriate committee member. However, should a message fail a test, it will be placed into a Inbound Spam Queue for later deletion.

If you were expecting to receive a message, you may be able to check the Inbound Spam Queue as follows†:

1. EITHER: log in and go to the menu Flamingo / Inbound Messages / Spam
   OR click the following URL: https://fparc.uk/wp-admin/admin.php?page=flamingo_inbound&post_status=spam
2. View the list of messages that have been marked as SPAM.

NOTE: Even though you can mark a spam message as “not spam”, this will not resend the message to you. Copy the text you need to keep and paste it into an application on your computer.
