#15847: Spam control is misconfigured and rejects all anonymous bug reports
----------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: follower | Owner: nobody
Type: Bug | Status: new

Version: 1.2 | Severity: Normal

It appears that if an attempt is made to submit a new ticket without
logging in the following error is thrown:
{{{
Trac Error
Submission rejected as potential spam (BlogSpam says content is spam
(badip:state/blacklist.d/127.0.0.1))
}}}
According to IRC and searches this problem has been occurring for quite a
while.
This is a particularly bad problem as it discourages new people from
submitting bug reports. (As demonstrated by reading mailing list posts.)
Depending on the browser it potentially leads to data-loss of the report
also.
It seems like the actual remote IP of the creator isn't being passed on to
the BlogSpam functionality correctly so localhost (127.0.0.1) is being
used instead.
If this configuration can not be fixed then IMO Trac should be configured
to require log in before submission of new tickets.
