Plugin Details

The AVH First Defense Against Spam plugin gives you the ability to block spammers before any content is served by identifying them at the Project Honey Pot, a local blacklist or the local IP cache. Visitors trying to post a comment are checked at stopforumspam.com. Stop Forum Spam is not used to check before content is served due to the amount of requests, which overloads their infrastructure.

Features

• PHP 5 is required.
• The visitor’s IP can be checked at the following third parties:
  • Stop Forum Spam. Another website to visit if you are being inundated with SPAM. Stop spam here. http://www.stopforumspam.com
  • Project Honey Pot. Another website to visit if you are being inundated with SPAM. Stop Spam here. http://www.projecthoneypot.org (An API key is needed to check the IP at this party. The key is free.)

I found all this on the wordpress site with loads more info on this plugin here.
