You had IP 127.0.0.1 and thus the same as the spammer who tried to fill 
the Trac yesterday. This is a misconfiguration in the Apache-Webserver. I 
will see how to solve it.

Nevertheless the SPAM filter got very reliable now after I fixed the Trac 
spam plugin. Seems I cannot use a software without starting to code for 
it. :-)
