Thus this plugin was born. = I activated the plugin but I still get spam = This plugin is not 100% protection around the spam. It just protects your blogs from bots entering spam email addresses to create accounts and comments. = I installed the plugin but it is not working = This plugin required access to fsockopen and your hosting provider should have port 25 access open to do deep server email checks. = I get a *401 Unauthorized* error when I verify the API key but I\'m very sure that it is correct = You could be using the normal API key, for this plugin you need to enter the **Public API Key** this is slightly longer than the normal API key and is found just below it. == Screenshots == 1.
