Re: BuddyPress Spam
If you’re using the same machine that you normally use to access that page, it’s highly unlikely that you get redirected, ‘cuz as site admin, your IP has already been “goldlisted” and you’re known as one of the good guys.
To really test if it’s working properly, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be, try accessing the url directly from an airport or internet café with wifi. Or, better yet, through a proxy server.
You could also have some fun and try this:
Set up 2 email accounts at any test site you’ve got going (the weirder the names, the better). From a different IP (another computer), email your wp-signup link from one account to the other, and click on it. If you’ve never sent emails to your buddypresssite from the test site (thus, sender unknown), that access attempt would probably be flagged and you’d probably get bumped. Just my thoughts…
