Is this mod doing queries to Spamhaus datafeed? I don't believe I have any other third party spam mods other than the integrated akismet filter.

The only Spam-O-Matic features I have enabled are IP check and email check.

Nope, this mod does not query to Spamhaus. It's probably a scam.

Also, to enable TypePad Antispam in this mod, simply replace

$vbghsfs_host = $key.'.rest.akismet.com';

to

$vbghsfs_host = 'api.antispam.typepad.com';

in the newpost_process hook, and do the same in includes/functions_ghsom.php. Next, replace

		$response = VBGHSFS_AkismetRemoteCall("key=$key&blog=$blog", 'rest.akismet.com', '/1.1/verify-key', 80);

with:

		$response = VBGHSFS_AkismetRemoteCall("key=$key&blog=$blog", 'api.antispam.typepad.com', '/1.1/verify-key', 80);

Then get a free API key from http://antispam.typepad.com/info/get-api-key.html.
