Hi, I have looked into the trac admin page to see if there is anything useful for this issue and I found that the current Jim Bell’s tickets and comments were filtered out as a spam. http://www.crest.iu.edu/~dikim/spamfilter.png The spamfilter on trac is not perfect. It just filters out anything if they meet some criteria that the filter setup. I have not setup the filter criteria (Yes, I have installed the spam filter as you guys requested). It seems that it needs to train the spam filter with some admin’s interaction on the filtered tickets as a spam or ham. I just tried to make four Jim Bell’s ticket/comments selected as a ham. I hope the spam filter does a little better job on Jim Bell’s ticket next time. The following users are the admin of the boost trac system and I hope that they need to train the spam filter from time to time in case this kind of incidents happen. az_sw_dude admin bemandawes admin dave admin dgregor admin eric_niebler admin grafik admin johnmaddock admin marshall admin -PS- I do not follow this mailing list. If someone forwards an email to me like this, I can see what happens. Regards, -- - DongInn On Nov 1, 2013, at 9:35 PM, Jeremiah Willcock wrote:

I had a ticket attachment and comment both rejected from a "captcha error," so I decided to open a Trac ticket on the captcha mechanism itself. But guess what? THAT ticket was also rejected by the captcha error. Catch-22!

So I'm posting it here.

I get: -------------------------------- Captcha Error Submission rejected as potential spam (StopForumSpam says this is spam (username))

Trac thinks your submission might be Spam. To prove otherwise please provide a response to the following. --------------------------------

But there's nothing following to which to provide a response. Is it mis-configured?
