Let me tell you that the plugin checks for spammers aggressively and is unforgiving to the point where even you may get locked out of your own blog when you log off and try to log back in. There are two options which help prevent this, but these options can make it easier for a spammer to hack your site. When you are confident that the plugin is working un-check these boxes.

Some hosts don’t pass on the correct IP Address. In some cases it is impossible to check the IP address of incoming spammers. Some users use proxy servers to protect their site. For such cases the plugin doesn’t work at all. Some protection from User Agent, Red Herring, Session Speed, Referrer and other checks, still allows the plugin to work fairly well, but spammers cannot be cached or banned by IP.
