Description
I noticed that many of the spam connections to my site end with with empty string for IP hostname, and this ends up in the Spam modules table titled "Spam Module Blocked IPs" - which now has a row with an blank IP address, but valid last seen and very high count columns.
Just wondering if this would cause a problem - since the count is high, does this mean any connection that does not provide a hostname will now be blocked immediately?

Marking this is a bug report -- I'm seeing this at well, and have not yet tracked down the implications. I assume yes, anyone not providing a hostname will be blocked immediately. Another question: do valid users not provide their hostname? In other words -- is this a bug or a feature?
