Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Norton

The reason given for Norton 123's block is "Automatically blocked by
abuse filter. Description of matched rule: phone number spam (in title
/ copy)"
Start of block: 14:23, 14 June 2016
Expiry of block: 14:23, 15 June 2016
Intended blockee: 137.65.227.73
Since my IP address is different from the one provided
in that
message, why the Abuse Filter is blocking me?
137.65.227.73 is the IP of one of the authentification proxies (all
requests to the wiki go through one of them).
It looks like AbuseFilter does IP blocking :-/ (besides user blocking) -
and with the current config, it blocks the auth proxy IPs (instead of the
real IP [1]) and therefore also blocks valid edits :-(
I just disabled the "block user and/or IP" option in AbuseFilter
(hopefully this doesn't result in too much spam) and removed the IP
blocks so that you can edit the wiki again.
Regards,
Christian Boltz
[1] There is a MediaWiki setting for proxy handling [2] so that the
original IPs are honored, but obviously nobody did set that for the
openSUSEwiki, and the server admins in Provo are less responsive
than I'd hope :-/
