This list works with 3.7 Beta.

It totally eliminated our spam when using 3.6 and thank you again Calorie for a great product!

Just installed 10 minutes ago and already blocking emails from a domain that I have been having trouble with.

Installed

Installed for over 24 hours now and is working very well. Only one legitimate user was blocked and I fixed that.

I have had one very persistent person (or BOT) trying to register with the email address of hi-d@mail.ru . He, She, or it tired to register at least six times. I always that it was BOTs doing the registrations. Would a BOT attempt to register this many times?

Also, maybe I am paranoid but does anyone think that once the spammers realize that they can not longer register that they will attempt to cause other problem with your forum like a DOS attack?

Is there a version of this for 3.7?

Recently all of my boards are getting bombarded with new users that appear to be either hackers or spam. I blocked .ru and .ee but some of the IP addresses are from rusia.

I am using this version On VB 3.7, and rolled over from 3.6 when if was released, no problems what so ever, it is very safe to use for 3.7, I have had hundrens of spammers blocked using this mod.

There are now aol spammers registering. How do we add them to spamlist? Thanks.

open the 'allow' file and take /at/aol.com off that list, save the file, then open the 'a' file, scroll down to the appropriate alpha spot and add /at/aol.com, save the file.

Just so everyone knows, I upgraded to vB 3.8.0 RC1 over the weekend and re-installed Spam List successfully without any problems... seems to still work fine.

:cool:

This mod single handedly stopped all bots! all the other ones helped but this one stopped completely. I recommend it to anyone with a problem with those damn spam bots.

Is It working on 3.8.x ?

Yes, working fine :)

Thanks!

working fine on 3.8.x

Anyone tried this mod in combination

what job goes first...

thx

hey everyone...is it possible we have spam block counter..working with this mod...that shows how many spam accounts were blocked? can any one implement it?

thanks!

Works very nicely!

E-mails not in spamlist that should be blocked:

@meltmail.com

@googlemail.com

These are 2 very well used spam e-mails I am recetly geting attacked by a user using these. Now adding them to this mod good luck to him finding more. If he gets another one not on the list ill keep adding them here ^.^.

@ simonhind

Above link not working.

this is awesome list

http://www.stopforumspam.com/search

why @msn.com ??? also @yahoo.co.in?
why are you blocking these 2?

Where can i see the list of the blocked domains, after i installed the Addon?

The list is in the text files provided in the mod.
The ones which get blocked are sent as email to you. [if set in admincp]

Yes, but where do i set it up? I dont find the options in my AdminCP

There are no options for this mod in admincp.

ok thanks

Why is att.net on the list (they provide internet access / dsl) ??

Any chance that the username, password and ip address the spambots were registering with can be included in the email?

Just installed this on 3.8.3....not a single problem. Works beautifully. Thanks for the foresight for an exceptions list!

Will this be ported to work with 4.0/Suite 4.0? Perhaps a bit premature, but I have a decision to make in the next 2 weeks and this mod saves me a LOT of headaches.

When was the last time was this list updated? Also if updated did some get removed that are legit emails such as gmail?

If this hasn't been updated since 2006 then its likely that 99% of these addresses arent even being used....surely rendering this mod pointless :/

Would really help if the dev could reply...

In my Forum it blocks at least 10 Registration- Attempts from Bots a day. And its not even a big forum (about 60 Members).

I am in the need to this for vb4 - it works so so good on my 3.8.x forum and now the spammers are hitting the vb4 site I have.
Any chance you will make this vb4 compliant calorie?

I just wanted to take a moment and appreciate Calorie once again for this excellent hack.

I truly believe this hack is the main reason, why I never ever had problems with spambots. Our sites have over 50k visits/day and all the spambots are caught even before trying to register.

Since I installed this, there were some new email domains that have acted spammy, so I did the simple thing of adding them to spamlist files and they're history.

Incidentally, is there a site which has updates on spammy email domains? I'm assuming calorie used such a site when writing this perfect hack.

Thanks.

Probably should try http://www.stopforumspam.com/

hi guys i realise this thread is basically a zombie thread now, but i have uninstaleld this plugin and removed its files from my forum and ftp because since upgrading to vb4 its been sending me thousands of emails that it cant read the list but is still doing this even though i have uninstalled it anybody know what to do ?

For me, the easiest solution to combat spam bots from registering is just to use a question in the registration that the bot needs to get correct in order to register.

Simple example, "what is the colour of milk?". I ask a slightly harder question, but it has been 100% effective so far, so no need for image verification or anything else!

Good enough that I do not need any kind of human verification or questions and answers for anything in relation to registered members, only for those attempting to register.
