If you use comcast, you can't install this plugin
-
My dynamic IP address starts with 24.x.x.x – installed your plugin (version 4.0, WP 3.4.2), went to activate it and received this error:
[code]Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Reason code: sbl.spanhaus:153,2,24
ip: 24.x.x.x[/code]I x’ed out my current IP address for obvious reasons. So I went to the spamhaus website, discovered that the entire 24.0.0.0/12 block of IP addresses is listed in their PBL database. I’m unable to remove my address from that list, site would not allow it.
So I took a look at your code, and found this in stop-spammer-registrations.php…
[code] $iplist = array(
'sbl.spamhaus' => '.sbl.spamhaus.org',
'xbl.spamhaus' => '.xbl.spamhaus.org',
'dsbl' => '.list.dsbl.org',
'sorbs' => '.dnsbl.sorbs.net',
'spamcop' => '.bl.spamcop.net',
'ordb' => '.relays.ordb.org',
'njabl' => '.dnsbl.njabl.org'
[/code]and I commented out each spam database site one by one. Every single spam site listed in your plugins array considers 24.0.0.0/12 as a spam source. That is a significant number of comcast internet users. I would have to comment out that entire array list to be able to activate this plugin, and in doing so would defeat the purpose of said plugin.
Suggestions? ??
