This has got to be one of the very best anti spam features to add on to any vb forum.

I cant believe how many spammers this stops each day.

Keep up the good work

works like a charm on 3.5.4

Host recently upgraded PHP and MySQL and I've started to receive these errors (removed real user info)

Any ideas?

I am getting the same thing on 5 sites I have this installed on. Just started getting the errors today.

Mine just started today as well..

I tested the SQL in phpMyAdmin and it is valid. No other MySQL errors show in the VB logs.

I'm running VB 3.7.5.

Whats the exact version of php and mysql so that I can install both and test it.

pedigree, is SFS under heavy load at the moment or a DDOS attack? As I've had a lot of '[REMOTEERR] Unverfied and rejected by policy' results today and the load times are quite slow for the site at the minute.

Just thought I'd ask in case you weren't aware.

Can you try this

includes/functions_vbsfs.php

go to line 165 (ish) that reads

$logresult = $vbulletin->db->query($sql);

and change it to

$logresult = $vbulletin->db->query_write($sql);

does that fix its behavior?

Doesnt look like a DoS, just the mysql server is dead slow to respond. The server load is 3, which is next to nothing.

Im guessing that mysql is closing pages due to the unsually long period of time that its taking to query lookups due to the slow remote database server. If youre using cUrl for your lookups, try lowering the timeout period so that mysql doesnt close its connections or increase the timeout period for mysql.
