As reported at <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:MassMessage&oldid=6671296#not_working_in_ru.wiki>, MassMessage appears to be broken (possibly blocked?) at ruwiki. I don't see any relevant block log entries... perhaps AbuseFilter interference? Not sure.
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:%D0%92%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B4/127.0.0.1 looks like 127.0.0.1 is blocked, and since autoblock is enabled it's being caught.
(In reply to comment #1) Wow, great catch! I'm curious whether any change should be made in MassMessage. Or perhaps we should simply update the documentation (e.g., [[m:MassMessage]] && [[mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage]]) to note that blocking localhost will cause this issue and then mark this bug as resolved/invalid. Thoughts?

We could potentially make the account ipblock-exempt regardless of the wiki's settings (enwiki gives ipblock-exempt to the bot group, ruwiki doesn't) > Or perhaps we > should simply update the documentation (e.g., [[m:MassMessage]] && > [[mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage]]) to note that blocking localhost will cause > this issue and then mark this bug as resolved/invalid. That would also work. Wikis really shouldn't be blocking 127.0.0.1 FWIW, it's just going to cause weird problems like this one.
I've unblocked IP, let's see if it helps.

I filed bug 58258 to track this.
Closed it as resolved then. :)
Just saw this on Wikidata (and about 5 more related log entries): 07:29, 5 May 2014 Delivery of "Tech News: 2014-19" to User talk:Eekiv failed with an error code of autoblocked This is probably masking an issue in MediaWiki (I don't see anything that could have autoblocked 127.0.0.1 on wikidata...), but I don't think we should have deliveries fail because of this. If an admins goal is to block the bot, they can just block the account directly. > We could potentially make the account ipblock-exempt regardless of the > wiki's settings (enwiki gives ipblock-exempt to the bot group, ruwiki > doesn't) I think this is the best thing to do for now.
