This is very strange, but within a day of my site going live, the comment form on three of the pages began receiving (and thus emailing) bursts of comment spam. I then set up a recaptcha for the form (tested and works), but these same three pages still get hammered with comment spam. I unpublished…

It’s been 24 hours and the honeypot code for bettercomments has not let a single spam message get through. 200+ spams a day down to zero so I’d say it’s working.

Site has over 100 pages and 3 of them receiving rampant comment spam. Bizarre!
