I've done some more investigation now, and it seems like the string "anonymous" is only considered spam for certain "user_ip" values. Hopefully this means that akisment rejects all comments from certain blacklisted ip addresses. This might explain most of the "rejected content u'anonymous'" entries I've found in the log but not all. A few users still seems to have problem with false positives. _______________________________________________ Trac-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.edgewall.com/mailman/listinfo/trac-dev
