[pmwiki-users] spam despite edit restriction

Hi,

every now and then I am getting spammed - although I restricted page
editing using AuthUser like this:

  $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = array('@admins', 'id:*');

The strange thing is that the spammers seem only to be able to create
new pages, but not edit them. See the recent changes on my wiki:

These pages are all empty. Apart from that the pages all belong into a
certain group (Review). Note that's the group I use in combination with
the newpageboxplus recipe to simplify page creation.

What could be the problem? Something in AuthUser? In the
newpageboxplus recipe? Any ideas?

Florian
