Description

Open proxy check plugin for comments and trackbacks. This plugin queries the Distributed Sender Blackhole List if a comment or trackback is submitted.

This plugin can work in conjunction with other moderation plugins as it looks for the comment or trackback metadata.

Installation and Setup

In your global /WEB-INF/plugin.properties file, add the following line:

open-proxy-moderation=org.blojsom.plugin.moderation.OpenProxyModerationPlugin

You may then add "open-proxy-moderation" to one of the flavor-based plugin chains. The plugin must be placed before the comment or trackback plugin. These plugin chains can be found in the individual user's plugin.properties file. For example:

html.blojsom-plugin-chain=..., open-proxy-moderation, comment, trackback, ...

Login to your blog and navigate to the Weblog Settings | Properties and make sure the Comment Moderation Enabled? or Trackback Moderation Enabled? setting is set to true.

Usage and URL Parameters

If the IP address of the requesting host is on the blacklist, the comment or trackback is marked for moderation if moderation is enabled, otherwise it is destroyed.
