   Hello
   I got some people tried to add some comments and they got this message:
   Your comment has been blocked because the blog owner has set their spam filter to not allow comments from users behind proxies.

   If you are a regular commenter or you feel that your comment should not have been blocked, please contact the blog owner and ask them to modify this setting.

   Please let me know what do I need to do
   Many Thanks

   I already TOLD you. its the wp-spamfree plugin.

   http://www.hybrid6.com/webgeek/plugins/wp-spamfree

   Its in the code

   function spamfree_denied_post_proxy($approved) {
   	// REJECT PROXY COMMENTERS :: BEGIN
   
   	// Update Count
   	update_option( 'spamfree_count', get_option('spamfree_count') + 1 );
   	// Akismet Accuracy Fix :: BEGIN
   	$ak_count_pre	= get_option('ak_count_pre');
   	$ak_count_post	= get_option('akismet_spam_count');
   	if ($ak_count_post > $ak_count_pre) {
   		update_option( 'akismet_spam_count', $ak_count_pre );
   		}
   	// Akismet Accuracy Fix :: END
   
   	$spamfree_proxy_error_message_detailed = '<span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Your comment has been blocked because the blog owner has set their spam filter to not allow comments from users behind proxies.</strong><br /><br />If you are a regular commenter or you feel that your comment should not have been blocked, please contact the blog owner and ask them to modify this setting.<br /><br /></span>'."\n";

   Look at the last line. Thats right out of the wp-spmafree plugin.
   Eventually you need to figure out to visit the settings page for that plugin and toggle OFF whatever setting is causing that.

   WP-SpamFree — WordPress settings:
   Allow users behind proxy servers to comment?
   Most users should leave this unchecked. Many human spammers hide behind proxies.

   So what are proxy servers? Guess I have one since I cannot leave a comment on my own blog.
