hey there dave
thanks

hrm. if block: is indeed correct for ip addresses, then i might try changing the description on http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Blocklist which almost makes it sound like any IP address on one's blocklist page will be blocked. i'll make it more explicit if indeed this is the case.

as for the wild card, if indeed it works, then why would a post from 194.44.171.14 be able to be posted if i had block:194.44.* listed on my blocklist page? i just have a feeling that maybe something is a little off there...

thanks again!

hi
a quick question about blocklist and spam

in order to block ip addresses, is the format:
block:194.44.171.14
or is it it simply
194.44.171.14
?

i've been doing it with the block:ip.add.res.s and i'm not sure if
it's working correctly

plus, does it only work if the ip address is in the form of
a.b.c.d or a.b.c.*

or is it also supposed to work if you only do
a.b.*

i've been doing this:
block:194.44.*

... and i'm still getting spam from various 194.44... ip's.
thanks for the advice
adam
