Title: [Plugin: http:BL] Why this spam was not blocked ? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: http:BL] Why this spam was not blocked ? * [martvefun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martvefun/) * (@martvefun) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-httpbl-why-this-spam-passed/) * Hello, * I have [http:BL](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/httpbl/) ([projecthoneypot](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/home.php) plugin) enabled on my website but I’m not sure it is working as I still receive spam. * The last I got in my spam folder is from the ip 46.17.97.248 I checked on the honeypot site, it is [blacklisted](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_46.17.97.248). Threat Rating: 47, last seen this week. In the settings, I set “Age threshold” to 30 and “General threat score threshold” to 20 so it seems to me that it should be blocked. * Any idea why it wasn’t ? * Thank you Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * Thread Starter [martvefun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martvefun/) * (@martvefun) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-httpbl-why-this-spam-passed/#post-2482941) * No one knows ?
