Check the spamx.log (from the Spam-X plugin). It should tell you what triggered the filter.

Yes, i checked but only tell me my IP as spam an my friends' IP that tried to submit an event.

The spamx is always stoping the submit in calendar and stories cases.

Please Dirk help me

Best regards

It should say something like "Found Spam Post matching xxx posted by ...", where "xxx" is the actual reason. What does it say there?

The same problem. Spam log only reports 2 lines:
Wed Nov 7 08:21:37 2007 - Found Spam Post matching ass posted by user 4 from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Wed Nov 7 08:21:37 2007 - Deleted Spam Post

I very surprised. This comment was not even written in English but Slovak language and the only html tag used was "<b></b>".
I was logged as user with the admin privileges. I disabled spam-x plugin for a while - there was the only way how to submitt
a comment. But some solution even for not logged users will be welcomed.

Version 1.4.1.

Anyone any idea?

As it said in the spamx.log you quoted: The posting contained the word "ass" somewhere and you seem to have that in your Personal Blacklist. So find that word in the Spam-X Personal Blacklist and click on it to remove it from the list.

You have to be careful when adding such short words to the blacklist, as they will also trigger the spam filter for harmless words that contain them as a substring, e.g. "assume" ...
