[For 1.8] Check IP with DNSBLs

[nth]

This is somewhat the same as StopForumSpam, but it checks DNSBLs instead. If an IP is in any of the blacklists that you have with this plugin, it will deny their registration and give them a detailed error message.

The plugin is extendable to what it is by default, for more information read the README on GitHub

Great idea, but you may want to block such traffic at the firewall instead (if possible). For example, I use Ubuntu. I have a cron job which hits a few sites with lists of black-listed IPs and updates an ipset. This code is specific to each site.

That could probably work, however I only created this to help with ban evaders or just spam bots who aren't in the SFS database (if you have it enabled, of course).
