Forums not accepting Topics

Having an issue with the default forums. Have added several topics, but there are some that won't work. One example is Abilify - for some reason this word as the Topic subject will not submit. Has anyone else ran into words that will not work. - Is it a combination of certain characters, or what?

Can you reproduce this on demo.boonex.com?

hmmm - works on demo site. Looks like I got some searching to do.

Do you have any third-party anti-spam tools installed, or maybe Akismet setup (haven't used it, but maybe that's it)?

Our server has a lot of security things going on. I have not personally added any 3rd party software except the RMS server, imagemagick, and java. But my firewall is:

ConfigServer Security & Firewall - csf v6.48

which was pre loaded.

EDIT: It makes sense - a little - to me now. When I try to add Abilify 3 times - I get black listed by the firewall program. So - I guess it is something to do with my firewall. Thanks for your comment - I would not have put 2 and 2 together on my own.

I installed that toad on my server and it locked me out, Had to use the KVM console to get back in.  Plus, I think it is actually more of a frontend to IPTables anyway unless I am mistaken.

I use ipTables, solid and it works.  You want security, you lock your server so that only YOUR; and any other tech's, IP address can access it.  Drop all other connections; drop means that anyone trying to get in does not get any kind of a response back.  Any port not needed for public connections, like port 80, you lock to your ip address.  Remote MySQL access is the same, lock it to your ip address.

my ip address changes by my isp - so I would end up locking myself out.

I see, there is a way to get a static ip address and automatically map it to a dynamic ip address.  However, for accessing a server it would not be wise in case of an oops; not being able to access the server is something that you don't want to happen.

You can still use iptables to secure the server; just leave port 22 open to all IP addresses and use a very long and complex password.  Even with locking port 22 to just my IP address I still use long and complex passwords.

OH - just as an FYI. I found out why I could not add certain medications. I did not know this, but there is a list of medications most commonly used for spam and spam ads. One of the security options is to block all medications in that list from any form of database entry through a website. I could add them using phpmyadmin. Went ahead and bypassed that file since this project is based around health, and medications are a large part of healthcare.
