Comment (by zooey):
I'm not sure, but I believe the described behaviour may just be how it is
supposed to work:
AFAICS, the spamfilter plugin uses a couple of tests (both internal and
external like mollom) to determine the quality of a ticket/comment. If
that quality is above a configured level (currently 10 points), Trac will
accept it, without showing the captcha.
Our current problem seems to be that the quality never reaches 10, so the
captcha is shown for every submission. The cause of this seems to be that
only the mollom and the bayes filter plugin actually increase the quality
level, when they consider the contribution to be ok. I have no idea why
the other configured plugins (e.g. akismet) never contribute to the
quality level.
I have lowered the value for the minimum quality to 5 now, let's see how
that works out.
BTW: the spammer we had recently didn't like the captcha very much and
actually failed to solve it several times and gave up (only to come back
at a later time). So I believe that the captcha did help getting rid of
that spammer.
