It does a great job and I heartily recommend it.

One of the features is a log file with the contents of any spam comments so you can check for false positives or to see just how much spam your blog is being protected from.
The log file defaults to [yourserver]/wp-content/plugins/wp-spamfree/data/temp-comments-log.txt

I tried to read mine but I got a 403 forbidden error and couldn’t figure out why, I had a standard install.

I tracked it down to the .htaccess file in /wp-content/plugins/wp-spamfree/data/ which has[code]SetEnvIfNoCase Referer http://labby\.co\.uk/wordpress/wp-admin/ wpsf_access
SetEnvIf Remote_Addr ^my.ip.address$ wpsf_access

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from env=wpsf_access
[/code]Insert the line with my.ip.address above and add your own IP address, save and you should be up and running.

Gregory –
Regardless of how the rest of your day goes, here’s something to be happy
about — today one of your donated MXs helped to identify a previously
unknown email harvester (IP: 92.26.102.158). The harvester was
caught a spam trap email address created with your donated MX:

mail2.labby.co.uk

You can find information about your newly identified harvester here:

Now keep your hands up if you add scripts to your blog that google happily munches through and translates for you.

For those of you loyal readers beginning to get sore arms here is the solution which will only take a moment.

Go to your wordpress install directory

Edit the file wp-includes/js/quicktags.js

do a find and replace for "<code>", replace with "<code class=notranslate>", including the ”

There should be 2 occurrences in the file.

Save the file and you are done.

You will need to edit any existing posts in your database to change the contents of wp_posts again replacing <code> with <code class=notranslate> a simple php/mysql script would achieve this if you have a large blog.

If you can’t come up with your own php script to do this, leave me a comment and I will write one.

Here is how you configure apache2 to serve requests on that IP to a specific virtualhost

assumptions:

new IP is 192.168.1.2

new website is called newip.labby.co.uk

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2>

UseCanonicalName Off

ServerName newip.labby.co.uk

ServerAlias *.newip.labby.co.uk

ServerAlias *

DocumentRoot /var/www/newip.labby.co.uk

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error-newip.labby.co.uk.log

LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access-newip.labby.co.uk.log

<Directory /var/www/newip.labby.co.uk>

Allow From All

Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks

</Directory>

</virtualhost>

I knew immediately what it was (cURL allows you to read a website via a script) but couldn’t find a way to fix it via google.

Here’s the solution on debian ubuntu php 5

sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo apache2ctl graceful

Once that was done all was well.

Simple solutions are wonderful aren’t they?
