Somehow Spam module has blocked me from posting to my own site via IP address. That's OK, and I've found the list of blocked IPs, but I can't figure out how to unblock them. I'd appreciate any tips!

Thanks,
Chris.

Unfortunately there's no automated way to do this currently. However, the module is blocking IP addresses based on blocked content found in the spam_tracker table. If you delete the spam entries in the spam_tracker table that have your IP address, your IP will no longer be blocked.

Question: I have a client who wants to be able to unblock IPs, and therefore is not someone who is able to perform database edits. Is there any way for a user (without DB access) to do this?

I read on another thread that IPs would get unblocked if you marked all the IP's comments as not-spam - is this true, and if so, how would you find and un-spam all an IP's comments?

I am closing this issue, since it's for a Drupal version no longer supported.
