Sometimes it doesn't ban, at least when using wildcards.

  • I have now 343 entries in the Banned IPs table, which is being regularly updated with the IP addresses picked from the spam messages detected.
    To cover more than the single IPs detected, all entries in the Banned IPs table have been entered with a wildcard for the last group of digits, i.e.: 114.80.91.*
    However, every now and then, a spam message passes the ban filter. For instance, for the example above, IP address 114.80.91.181 has passed the filter.
    Of course, no entry exists in the Ban Stats for this address.
    This behaviour happens two or thrice each spamming day, with different addresses.

  • I also have tried banning using wildcards:
    195.154.*.*
    62.210.*.*
    94.23.*.*
    188.165.*.*
    37.59.*.*
    – but my website statistics show that thousands of pages are still being accessed from these IPs:
