Currently my drupal installation is saying "The spam filter installed on this site is currently unavailable. Per site policy, we are unable to accept new submissions until that problem is resolved. Please try resubmitting the form in a couple of minutes." I believe this is because the hosting company I use block outbound connections from scripts running on the site. I have therefore requested that connections to mollom.com on port 80 are allowed - is 88.151.243.73:80 correct? Or does the module connect to a different server? (The host companies firewall works with IP Addresses only - unfortunately).

On further investigation, the script also needs to access the mollom xmlrpc servers on port 80 at 88.151.243.145 , 82.103.131.136 and 88.151.243.81 as these are the hardcoded servers in the mollom module (currently - this will be a pain if the servers are ever allocated new IPs). I note the module retrieves a list of additional servers as well...

These are the 4 IP address that they need to allow for:

174.37.205.122
88.151.243.81
88.151.243.145
82.103.131.136

Note that our IP addresses can and will change over time.

Hi Dries,

Are these IP Addresses valid up to this date? I'm having this error "The Mollom servers could not be contacted. Please make sure that your web server can make outgoing HTTP requests." and our hosting is asking for hostname/ip and port, because they said that outgoing http requests is enabled.

Thanks!
