First of all, thank you for the great plugin.
I just have one question. How can I make the plugin stop sending me the email about spammers detection? I ticked/unticked every possible options but I keep getting emails from the plugin. Our website gets many visitors and apparently many spammers as well, and I get too much emails from the plugin. Is there way to stop this?

I’m glad the plugin is working out for you.

If you set the email threshold in the 3rd party options to -1 you will never receive an email.
You can set a threshold for both Stop Forum Spam and Project Honey Pot separately.

That’s what I did.
I still get “Spammer Detected” email.
Is it a bug? Or is there any other ways to stop the plugin emails?

What is the content of the emails?

Sorry to keep you waiting.
The content of the email is:

--------------------------------------------------------

And the settings for the 3rd party are set as:
Stop Forum Spam - Email threshold = -1
Project Honey Pot - Email type threshold = -1

It's weird that's all you get in the email. There should be something between Accessing and Add to the local blacklist

Maybe I'm just lazy to checking my DB, but is there any DB tables that AVH makes when activate the plugin?
What I wanna do is to uninstall it and want to re-install and see what happens.

Thanks!

The plugin should uninstall tables and options when you delete it from the plugin page.

Did you get this message on Oct 5 or just recently?

Anonymous · « **Reply #8 on:** October 13, 2009, 12:22:56 AM »

No - I am getting them almost immediately. I had nuked most of mine and had to dig to find one.

I got this one tonight at about same time as it was sent...

I just released v2.2

I really hope this solves this issue.
If not please follow these steps, it's a pain but that should really make it work.
After you updated:
Deactivate the plugin
Delete the plugin using the delete option in the plugin settings page of wordpress
Install the plugin again.

I just really hope you don't have to go though these steps.

Thanks and will keep you posted.

Peter -- with the new release, the emails have stopped. I did nothing more than an autoinstall of the new release and things appear to be working OK.

Thank you very much.

Rick
