Description of my issue:

I lately get these messages; look like these persons are accessing thry a proxy:

Hello,
We would like to notify you that a security exception was detected on your site, with the following details:
IP Address: 213.46.204.89 (IP Lookup: http://ip-lookup.net/index.php?ip=213.46.204.89)
Reason: Spammer (via HTTP:BL)

I have added the BL domein in my ip blacklist, but still get these messages.
Do I miss something here? How can I prevent people try to access thru HTTP:BL?

thanks,
Jmblr

Hello Jos,

Admin Tools simply informs you that it blocked an attack thanks to the information it got from Project Honeypot's HTTP:BL blacklist. You don't have to do anything. If you don't want Admin Tools to email you when a security exception (=blocked attack) is taking place please blank out the respective email address field in Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF.

Ok, I understand. The more informative email the better.

With the iirf.txt (ISS) it is even better to get informed because I can now run a script that also adds the abuser's ip address in that text file.
