 * I’ve used httpbl for quite some time but it’s no longer that effective.
 * I’ve noticed IPs listed on the Project Honeypot blacklists are being allowed 
   through by httpbl.
 * I’ve had to install a second, more recent anti-spam plugin which also consults
   the Project Honeypot databases and its catching what httpbl is missing.

 * Actually it works normally. Maybe you didn’t setup an API key or didn’t check
   what types of a visitor should be treated as malicious. Also you may want to 
   widen the range of the age threshold.
