Funciona perfectamente
Tenía un problema con la cantidad de correos que me llegaban diariamente a causa del spam en comentarios de todas las instalaciones de WordPress que gestiono. Fue instalar este plugin y solucionado. Sin tener que configurar nada. Arreglado

Forget about all the other antispam plugins out there. They are all unnecessarily big. This is just what you need, a simple tool to block the spam for comments.

Hace lo que dice y punto
Pues lo dicho, añade un honeypot en el formulario de comentarios de WordPress haciendo que el bot de spam se detale y enviando el comentario directamente al SPAM. Muy útil si quieres abrir los comentarios sin moderación. Sin configuraciones ni nada, solo activar y listo.
