Joomla! version: 2.5.6
PHP version: 5.2.17

Description of my issue:
I have an ip that's listed in my site ip blacklist, but I'm continuing to receive security exception emails for this ip, received 3 today. I manually blacklisted this ip, yesterday I think. Should I still be getting notification emails for this IP? They have all been admin query string. The emails tell me to blacklist the ip, which I have already done.

Go to Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF and make sure that "Disallow site access to IPs in Blacklist" is set to Yes. Otherwise the blacklist has no effect.
