Any chance this mod will work with 1.2.19?

I have the same question as dss.... has it been answered that anyone knows of?

I haven't implemented that function (yet?). I started working on it at one point, but due to lack of time, I never completed it... Should be fairly easy to do though, if someone wanted to.

There is a bug in the upgrade function of the installer.
In line 35, it should say

    $sql = 'ALTER TABLE '.$db->prefix.'spam_protect ADD total TINYINT(2)';

instead of

    $sql = 'ALTER TABLE spam_protect ADD total TINYINT(2)';

Unfortunately, we will be unable to make any modifications to the server configuration at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Does anyone know how to work around this? Is there an alternative function the mod can use?

Ok, I might have a working solution for you In step 6 in the readme.txt, replace:

    if ($lookup != gethostbyname($lookup)):

with

    if (@fsockopen($lookup, 80) !== FALSE):

It should work, but it is slightly slower. Still, I think it's the best way to work around your problem. Let me know if it solved the problem?

No, unfortunately, I don't think there is. The thing is, it needs to "ping" the remote server in some way... I'll see if I can find and alternative way, but I can't promise anything.

As I'm not to familiar with FreeBSD, perhaps someone else here could help out with this (which seems to be the cause of the problem):
http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.ge … .php#30852

Ok, I just sent my host (Netfirms) a support inquiry:

There is reason to believe that a problem (http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.ge … .php#30852) with PHP\'s getbyhostname() function & FreeBSD is causing a malfunction in a mod (http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=8941&p=1) I have installed on my PunBB (http://punbb.org/) forum.
Is this an issue known to Netfirms? Is there any way you can fix it?

I'll let you know about their response once I receive it.
