A new version of the WordPress plugin AVH First Defense Against Spam has been released today.
The changes made in this release:
- Ability to report a spammer to Stop Forum Spam if you sign up on their website and get an API key (it’s free).
- Added a link in the emails to add an IP to the local blacklist.
- Bugfix: Uninstall did not work.
- RFC: A white list was added.
More information can be found on the AVH First Defense Against Spam page.
I am using the AVH First Defense Against Spam plugin on my WordPress blog.
It seems to be doing a great job of catching spammers. I’m using it in conjunction with a captcha icon on my comments page and Askimet. However the plugin has now created a new and different problem. My email inbox is being flooded with email reports! How do I turn off email notification when a spam attack has been detected? I am getting several thousand per day right now, and it is slowing my email-checking process to a crawl.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
In the setting page of the plugin you can define a threshold for receiving emails.
If you set the the threshold to -1 you won’t receive the email.
Got it!
Thanks a lot!
