Akismet - the Spam Filter

The add-on integrates your store with Akismet - an advanced hosted anti-spam service aimed at killing the spam efficiently. It analyzes masses of data from millions of sites and communities in real time, it learns and evolves every single second of every single day - so it's always aware of the latest techniques of annoying spammers.

With this Spam filter, you can protect the Contact us form and the Product Reviews.

To add the tool to your X-Cart-based store, you need to obtain an API key. An API key is a string of characters — like abc123xyz456 — that’s used to register Akismet for your site. After you sign up for Akismet, you’ll receive your API key by email. Paste it once, and this smart "defender" will do the rest.
