Hello out there.
Can somebody help me? I feel ridiculous putting a post up about this, but I didn't know where else to go. One of my friends wrote to me and told me that she was unable to comment on my blog, as she is "forbidden" - I told her to hang tight, thinking that it would get cleared up in a couple days, as things usually do. It has been about two weeks and she still can't comment. Does anyone know how I can help her out?
Thank you!

It's also possible that her email domain was accidentally blacklisted. That happens occassionally when spammers seed their garbage with valid domains in an attempt to degrade Blacklist.

I blocked about 500 IP addresses during the worst of the spam attacks. It's possible that she got caught up in that list by mistake; I know of two other people who did.
I'll clear the list today and we'll see if that fixes it.

Done.
I hope we don't get hit with another trackback flood. Damn spammers.
