    hi,
    i want to drop a comment on wordpress blog but get the following error,
    Your comment has been blocked because the blog owner has set their spam filter to not allow comments from users behind proxies.

    If you are a regular commenter or you feel that your comment should not have been blocked, please contact the blog owner and ask them to modify this setting.

    In fact i'm not using proxy and also my comment are not spam

    what exactly happen?

    The blog owner was getting spam messages and to stop it he blacklisted a range of IPs. Your IP happens to be caught in the dragnet.
