Zero Conf Mail
Simple mail contact form, the way I like it. No ajax, no bloat. No configuration necessary, but possible.

Requires at least: 2.7
Tested up to: 3.0
Stable tag: 0.6.1.1
Description
It took me quite some time to check a few existing contact forms and I didn't like any of them. No, I don't want you to load jquery on every page of my blog. I want it localized, pretty please. Oh, and I want this JavaScript onfocus/onblur effect I wrote about. And why do I have to do any configuration at all anyway?
Since 0.6.0 the plugin has a built-in spam protection that won't bother your human visitors but will most likely catch all spambots.
Usage
The easiest way to use this plugin is to use the shortcode [zcmail]. There's also a widget that you can drag into one of your sidebars.
Using the mail form in your theme
You can call the function zcmail_shortcode() from your theme to get the same output as from the shortcode. Example:
if ( function_exists( 'zcmail_shortcode' ) ) {
echo zcmail_shortcode()
}
Support
Visit the plugin's home page to leave comments, ask questions, etc.
Other plugins I wrote
Installation
Unzip, upload to your plugin directory, enable the plugin. Include it on a page or post by adding the shortcode [zcmail] somewhere on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What about spam?
A: Webspammers don't gain anything by spamming you through the contact form, as their links don't appear on your site. A spammer is wasting his resources by sending spammy backlinks through the form and should stop soon. Normal spam should be handled by your email provider.
Update: Since 0.6.0 there is a simple but hopefully very effective trap for automated spambots.
Q: Anybody can send me a gazillion mails through your plugin!?
A: That's true. That's why the plugin comes with a flood protection. Sender IPs are logged and an attacker would need a considerable amount of resources to bypass that protection. You can make the flood protection rules more severe if you want to.
Q: Who receives the mails?
A: The admin who activated the plugin is a registered user of your blog and has an email address associated with his account. That's where the plugin sends the mails to. This can be changed on the plugin options page.
