BlogSpam 6.x-1.4

Current status drupal 7The admin/configuration pages are working fine in drupal 7 alpha 1.An API change on how comments are validating has stopped the actual checking of comments - and I need to figure out how to trigger this in d7.For any interested coders out thereThis is mentioned here: http://drupal.org/node/224333#comment_validate_removedWe were not using comment_validate directly - but we were using the validate $op in hook_comment. This hook has been split out into several - and none of them are hook_comment_validate - so I need to investigate this further. The first one that springs to mind is hook_comment_presave but I think that this is later in the chain than the original validation.What is BlogSpamFrom the blogspam site: This blogspam service offers a simple interface which allows you to test whether a submitted blog or forum comment is spam or not.BlogSpam provides a central location where comments can be checked for various spam indicators.Checks availableThe BlogSpam service makes use of a plugin architecture to provide checking. If you are running your own blogspam server then the plugin list may vary. At present the following plugins are available (and running on the public BlogSpam server at blogspam.net).00blacklist Is the given IP blacklisted?00whitelist Is the given IP whitelisted?badip Block a comment if the IP address it has been submitted from has been locally blacklisted. The local blacklist is read from /etc/blogspam/badips and each line is assumed to be a Class C address.bogusip Is this an internal IP? That might be fine for local use, but in the real world such IPs are not going to be seen and can be safely marked as spam.dnsrbl Test whether the IP address submitting the comment is listed in the DNS RBLdropme This plugin is a simple test one - if a comment mentions the IP address it is coming from in the subject along with the key then we'll always report it as spam.emailtests Perform some simple tests on the submitted email address.lotsaurls Block if we find more than a given number of links in message. The default is 10 links, but this may be changed by the caller.requiremx If we've got an email address make sure that the domain : a. Has an MX record.sfs Test whether the IP address submitting the comment is listed in the StopForumSpam.com database.size Is the given post too large, or too small?stopwords Block if we find some particular stop-words in the body of the message.surbl Lookup each URL in the body of the comment and test against surbl.orgwordcount Block posts that are only a few words long.Drupal pluginThis plugin simply passes the comment and other useful information (e-mail if provided, subject if provided, IP address of the submitter etc) to the blogspam service. Some options are configurable (number of URLs for the lotsaurls plugin, min/max size and min number of words) and other options may be added.
