banned_ip.txt overloaded?

Post by karel »

Suddenly people can not write a message in the guestbook (by the way: great program!)
Then I saw that the file banned_ip.txt was full of ip-numbers. Can it be that it is overloaded, and is it possible to clear all that and simply upload again?
And why should I see all these numbers; while store all that? For me it is enough when the spammers are banned.

thanks in advance

Yes, banned_ips.txt can become quite large due to the huge amount robots running around like wild, but that shouldn't be a reason why people aren't allowed to post. If you can post a link to your GBook here, along with links to phpinfo.php and session_test.php I can have a look.
