Hanging

Thanks for the toolkit! With the plugin installed and enabled, and either of the options “Use Spamcop” or “Use Project Honeypot” checked, every page-load hangs, often resulting in timeout errors which render the entire site unusable. WordPress and this plugin are fully updated, and otherwise working well. Can you login to your server and do one of the following commands? host 32.124.247.170.bl.spamcop.net dig 32.124.247.170.bl.spamcop.net This will do a dns lookup. If the commands timeout then your server is blocked from doing DNS queries. These are linux commands. If you are running windows run the following command. nslookup 32.124.247.170.bl.spamcop.net If those commands work you can get to spamcop. Then try one of these commands. Replace [phapikey] with your project honeypot api key. host [phapikey].32.124.247.170.dnsbl.httpbl.org dig [phapikey].32.124.247.170.dnsbl.httpbl.org nslookup [phapikey].32.124.247.170.dnsbl.httpbl.org If those commands work then you can get to project honeypot. The plugin does this lookup on each page load to determine if an IP is on the Project Honeypot or Spamcop black lists. If those commands are timing out it will explain why your pages are timing out. Doing these commands returns errors for any subdomains listed above. So httpbl.org works, but bl.httpbl.org does not. Any idea? This is strange behavior to me. What error is being returned? bl.httpbl.org isn’t valid. It’s dnsbl.httpbl.org.
