It only shows that he is included in SORBS DUL and Spamhaus PBL (Zen includes PBL), both of which attempt to list all customer-assigned dynamic IP addresses. They do not track any kind of abuse, they're only intended to force people to use their ISP's SMTP server to forward mail instead of sending it themselves. The error message that Jidanni reports is in fact the message it gives when the content filter is hit. If it were an open proxy filter, the message would be different.

If this was the corporate blog, then it has a team of volunteers to review it often and patrol comments and the like. The tech blog has no such team, so removing the spam blacklists seems like asking for trouble. Since this seems to only affect one user, it seems unfortunate but acceptable ONLY ON COMMENTING ON BLOGS. If this was a case where the actual projects were not editable, there are larger and harsher repercussions for this sort of thing. I will put the question forth to my fellow techs at our Ops meeting, but for now this is staying in place.

If we remove things from use of the blacklisting service, we have to instead setup infrastructure to ensure that blog comments posting are still relevant, and remain largely spam-free. As I stated above, I will put forth the issue to my fellow tech folks and see if they can present a better option, other than de-opting out of the blacklist service without an alternative means of filtering and reviewing comments. If you feel that you are being unheard, you have my apologies, but I won't open up zero content filtering to allow one person the ability to post on a blog comment, when doing so has the real possibility of overwhelming all blog comments with huge amounts of spam. Have any steps been taken by you with the blacklisting agencies? (I ask because if I were to inquire with them, a pending case is a much easier reference than a new one.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Perhaps adjust the error message to give the user an address to send his comment to if he feels what he wrote was not spam.
