Spam Registrations · **Released**: 06-30-2007

For the fast 2 months I have received an enormous amount of fake registrations. As a result I required email validation so they are unable to post even though it seems automated. So at any given time I will have dozens of fake users sitting in my "Users awaiting Confirmation" usergroup and are not deleted unless I do it myself. It seems that the IP addresses of all these users are coming from proxys. In addition I have received a tremendous amount of spam email that is coming from my forum's contact page (vb's built in mail system). Suggestions?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
