I don't know, who?... it doesn't say. What's the point of both of these options? Why would you want to block the IP later on if you could block it earlier on?

SMTP sessions (connections if you will) are the second stage of an SMTP e-mail transaction process , so since DoPenaltyExtreme blocks based on the IP connection (the first stage of the process), that would come first.

This might help make sense of how things work and in what order:
