I have the spam protector plugin active on my site and I have activated the SURBL protection.
I was responding to a post in my site and as always I add my own website to the website field. When I submitted the comment I was getting an error saying my comment was rejected because a domain included in the comment was on the SURBL. At first I thought I might have just entered the captcha in wrong, so I tried submitting the comment about 3 more times. When I finally took my website out of the website field the comment went through fine.
Then just to make sure my domain didn't somehow get blacklisted I checked the SURBL using http://www.rulesemporium.com/cgi-bin/uribl.cgi It didn't come up as being blacklisted (or even grey listed) with either a domain OR an IP search.
What makes things even more confusing is that I have replied peoples comments with my domain name in the website field many many times before this without a problem. Although it very well could have been with a different build of s9y.
In anycase, it's a hassle not being able to post comments with my domain name on my own site

Sorry, I forgot to put that in my post :/
http://www.digitalsandwich.com is my site and the url that was getting rejected.
As far as surbls, there isn't an explicit place to set these as far as I know, unless it uses the same hosts as the RBL stuff uses which I haven't changed, so they are set to: sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, bl.spamcop.net
It should also be noted that I DO NOT have RBL turned on, just SURBL
[edit]
I went ahead and did a quick lookup at spamcop and spamhaus just to make sure I am not listed, and I'm not

I have the same problem:
I'm running Serendipity 0.8-beta6 and the newest version of SPAM protector plugin.
"Reject comments from RBL-listed hosts" is set to YES /
"Which RBLs should be contacted" has listed: sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, bl.spamcop.net (the default value).
All comments are rejected - reason: RBL-Block (even my own!) And none of these IPs are listed a spamcomp.net or spamhouse.org!!!
What the hell is wrong?
Your help would be very, very welcome!
Thanks a lot!
