As a reminder, here is a cite from the home page:

Use bbAntiSpam for free, if you want. Your users will not notice it. In exchange, each time a spam post is detected, the free bbAntiSpam sends a notification to the forum admin AND TO US. The reasons for this are the following:

* we collect statistics to release a new version based on content analysis
* letters help you to understand how much time you have saved

Privacy Policy: We do not disclose your individual information to any other company. We collect aggregate statistics on spam texts and spammers' IPs. We may publish or share this aggregate information with other companies. This aggregate data, by its nature, will not reveal your identity.

A typical notification looks as the following:
Quote:

You use UNREGISTERED version of bbAntiSpam.
This message is also SENT TO US for improving our spam database.
To avoid information disclosure, register bbAntiSpam:
http://bbantispam.com/?mode=register

bbAntiSpam thinks he has stopped the SPAM message. Contacts are not allowed:

* http://bbantispam.com/

The text of the message
=======================

User name: test, subject: test

http://bbantispam.com/

Server data
===========

REMOTE_ADDR=125.244.xxx.yyy
HTTP_USER_AGENT=libwww-perl/5.805
HTTP_VIA=1.1 none:8080 (Topproxy-2.0/)
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR=85.255.uuu.vvv
ENCODING=windows-1251

All is obvious except the server data.

REMOTE_ADDR is an IP address of the spammer. HTTP_VIA and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR give the list of the proxy-servers used by the spammer. HTTP_USER_AGENT contains the name of the browser or software. Finally, ENCODING allows to correctly interpret the text of a non-English spam message.
