It doesn't let submissions with blacklisted content be posted (and yes, there is an entry in the log if you choose that option) or hides existing comments with blacklisted content (unless you do #1 above). This is all in the documentation and clearly explained I think in the web interface. 3) MT-Blacklist is a <strong>content-based</strong> filter and blacklist. It has nothing to do with IP addresses because IP addresses have nothing to do with an individual users. Unless you are trying to stop someone from posting a certain IP address in the name, email, url or body of a comment, or the source url, title or except of a trackback ping, IP addresses do nothing but slow down your machine needlessly. Again, it's all in the documentation and should be obvious by the default blacklist. 1) You can turn off the retroactive behavior with this fix
