Hi Jérôme, Ipredator is a massive source of spam, which is why they're blocked. I've contacted them multiple times to report wiki spam attacks. Initially they replied to emails but there was no discernible change in spam attack levels. After many many such spam attempts I started totally blocking access from their network. If you have a problem because of using the Ipredator service, I suggest you complain to them or switch to using a less spam-friendly alternative. wiki.debian.org is not the only site that blocks Ipredator - google for "ipredator spam" to see a variety of anti-spam forums discussing them. -- Steve McIntyre [email protected] Debian wiki admin - wiki.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
