    Hi,

    1.Can I enter email addresses on “Enter User Agents” textarea ?

    As far as I know an email address is not a User Agent. The following link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent provides more information about a User Agent.

    2. If have already blocked an IP address on Blacklist Manager why when I go to Dashboard > Permanent block list tab there is no none IP address listed

    The Permanent Block List tab lets you view all the IP addresses that have been blocked permanently in your site. Permanent block list serves as a general IP blocking list similar to the blacklist but the difference is that the blacklist uses only .htaccess directives to block IPs whereas the permanent block list works at the PHP level independent of .htaccess.

    In other words the permanent block list will be an alternative to the blacklist and will cater for people who don’t have an Apache style server installation.

    The permanent block list was added to cater for the following.

    1- Auto blocking of comment spammers
    2- Spammers who register for wordpress accounts and are manually blocked by the administrator

    Let me know if the above information helps you.

    Thank you
