good - but the problem is: how to see the IP address of the spammer?
In the GRASS wiki I get a notification for each subscription which includes
the IP. That's perhaps not practical for the OSGeo wiki. For sure there
will be a way to obtain the subscribing IP... any suggestions?

Then we can easily feed the SpamBlacklist.
