MY PHPBB BLOCKING MY OWN IP

Post by gfryer1 »

Strange problem: when I create a new post on my phpbb I get this:

Your IP xxxxxxxxxx has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=xxxxxxx

Do you have an antispam extension installed? and if yes, you can probably whitelist your IP, or access your board using a different IP.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

You can disable an extension through the CLI: php ./bin/phpbbcli.php extension:disable <extension>

I have found the Spamhaus feature is more trouble than it's worth. Consider Senky's Akismet extension and an Akismet subscription as a better approach.
