Just a small question related to my hunt for banning a spammer.

I see in mysql two rows related to IP's.
One beeing msg_raw_ip and the other msg_hdr_ip.
I am beeing honoured by a spammer that likes to leave comments on my photography.
The field 'msg_raw_ip' is always different, while msg_hdr_ip continous to be the same (of that same user).
So I was wondering..
I guess my spammer found a way to have different msg_hdr_ip's, but cannot escape from msg_raw_ip.

raw ip is from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
header ip is from $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] if available.

Thank's!

Is there a mod that will hang the spammer by it's balls? (not a serious question).

It's very frustrating to have my pictures commented with the kind of comments he leave...

As suggested various times, there are 4 options to fight the spam problem:
1) Disable anonymous comments
2) Apply the captcha plugin or mod
3) Apply the Akismet mod
4) If you're adventurous and not afraid of alpha-stage software, check out the devel branch of the SVN and use the comment approval feature there (keep in mind that the devel version goes completely, utterly unsupported)

Another suggestion: don't even bother to ban spammers by IP, they spoof it anyway and will return later with another set of IP addresses.
