 * I’ve been receiving new user spam constantly for the last 24 hrs.
 * I have tried to block the IP addresses but its constantly using new addresses.
 * I installed a Captcha plugin but it doesn’t seem to apply to the subscribe2 widget
   I’m using in my sidebar.
 * Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
 * Thank you so much!

 * Subscribe2 includes simple anti-spam measures in more recent versions but I always
   suggest using another anti-spam plugin like Bad Behaviour or Stop Spammers.
 * You also have the option to block subscriptions from certain domains in the miscellaneous
   tab of the Subscribe2->Settings page.
 * Also, if these are being added as Public Subscribers and they remain unconfirmed
   they are automatically deleted in 28 days.
