If you don't manage to send the message for some other reason, for example if you leave the email box empty, then also catpha error will appear if needed.

So when email box is empty and validation code box is also empty or code is incorrect, two errors is displayed:
"You have entered an incomplete or incorrect validation (CAPTCHA) code."
"Sorry, my system does not understand your email address. Please try again."

And if validation code is correct, only the email error is displayed.

So captcha seems to work in the way that it understands whether the code is correct or not, but it just doesn't stop the procedure in incorrect case and message gets delivered anyway.

Does anyone have a clue what could be the problem?
Did you just copy the files or merge them in? If you just copied them in, then possibly one did not get copied. best to rename the originals and them copy the new ones in and when it works, you can remove the renamed ones. If you merged them, you missed some of the code.

Did you rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders under modules and templates to the name of the template you are using?

Lastly, did you go into the Admin/Configuration/Captcha page and turn them on?

I just tried what you were saying on my site which is running 1.3.9f and it works as advertised.
