    The function _is_fake_ip generated some false positives. I did some fixes and it’s working now. Maybe it needs some further workarounds for old php versions to keep it working there.

    					return true;

    Hi there, ike456,

    thanks for posting your solution. It might take a while, though, before the plugin author will be able to test and support IPv6 with AntiSpam Bee. It just isn’t available on a broader basis yet.

    Meanwhile, your solution certainly will provide great value to those looking to for a quick solution to immediately implement IPv6 support in the plugin. (Even though hacking plugin files directly usually isn’t recommended, of course.)

    Thanks again!
