Per-site salt for email hashing

Feature

Per-site salted email hashing — Hashes email identities with a unique per-site salt so stored identifiers can’t be reused across sites.

How it works

The salt is generated on activation and used when computing email_hash. This improves privacy while still allowing allow/deny and reputation features.

How to access / enable

  1. WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
  2. Privacy defaults
  3. Ensure per-site hashing is enabled (default).

Recommended setting

Recommended: Keep enabled (default).

It protects user privacy and still allows consistent per-site identity reputation.

Why you need this

Admins can stay privacy-forward (and GDPR-friendly) without sacrificing control.
