Hello. I'm having a look
Some settings should definitely be enabled and one error fixed.
First, you should enable the settings to limit the number of messages per IP address per length of time. That spammer has sent about 2 messages per minute. I see no reason why you wouldn't limit it to 1 message every 3 or 5 minutes.
Second, you should enable the settings that check the length and the minimum number of words for messages. It checks only text areas. That spammer has sent messages with one-word messages every time. You should enable that setting. The default values of 20 characters and 5 words minimum are usually good in most situations.
Finally, you did enable the honeypot and the minimum time to submission but you didn't follow the tutorial to actually install them for your form. The tutorial is here:https://marketplace.concretecms.com/marketplace/addons/anti-spammer-...
You have the choice between either adding 3 lines of code to your form or using my Hidden Attribute package to enable those 2 options. It's all explained in the tutorial.
Let me know if anything is not clear.

I've updated the settings and we seemed to have not deployed the form update - let’s we how we get on now.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you for your help.
I tried sending again one of those spammy messages you already received and it got blocked right away.
