Configured m_webirc IP gets checked against blacklist while the actual client IP is ignored

[Mikaela]

Connecting to webchat (which is configured with m_webirc) over Tor doesn't result to any errors as it appears that the webchat IP is checked against the blacklists.

*** Checking your IP against DNS blacklists
*** IP not found in DNS blacklists
CGI:IRC host/IP set to 199.249.223.62 199.249.223.62

% host 62.223.249.199.6697.<our_IP>.ip-port.exitlist.torproject.org
62.223.249.199.6697.<our_IP>.ip-port.exitlist.torproject.org has address 127.0.0.2

Would this also happen to affect OPM?

I am curious about it as we have been having one persistent spammer that connects from many places (through webchat) which isn't Tor.

I would also be curious in what are the several issues that OPM causes, but this might not be the place for that.

Yes it will affect OPM too. The way m_webirc is currently implemented makes it hard to do this properly.

Don't start the checks until after NICK or USER is given. WEBIRC should always be given first anyway.

not really possible due to the way authd is hooked in
