the badword filtering shouldn't be filtering registration emails unless you have modified the code. so they must be typing that address< |

Bump for this great topic. There is an idiot who's spamming with domains like @2008topoctober.com, @2008onlineblog4.net, @2008bloggger.com, etc... Is there any way to block all @2008*** domains with this MOD ? Thanks.< |

I'm sure its possible, but it would require a little extra work.< |

Any hints on what that work would be, I'm getting hammered by theses idiots ! Account blocking and IP banning is not deterring them it seems...< |

Not off the top of my head.
Last week (and probably this month) things are rather nuts around the hospital. I've worked every day since last Sunday, and I probably won't get a day off until Friday at the earliest. I was away at Greensboro for a 4 day training course and they kept calling and e-mailing, and I had to take my breaks and evenings to remote in and handle some of the most irrational requests I've had since I started working there. Hasn't left much time for more than a cursory run through the posts... sorry about that. < |

I wrote some very similar code to take care of the problem.
-- Dim strSpamEmail strSpamEmail = Request.Form("Email") Dim strSpamIP strSpamIP = "http://" & Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") if InStr(1,strSpamEmail,"@u-yep.com",1) > 0 then response.redirect strSpamIP end if --
I found I had to Dim my variables before putting them in the InStr code otherwise valid registrants would be shown a Snitz error message. Perhaps that has something to do with my particular version of VBScript.
The "1"s in the InStr code make it so that case doesn't matter.
My favorite part is redirecting the spam bot back to its own server via REMOTE_HOST. If enough Snitz forums used this code then the spammer servers would essentially initiate a mild denial-of-service attack against themselves.
The problem with this is that you'd have to list all of the servers (again) in the code, line by line. Instead, try this approach - I've got the spam servers in a dbase table:
The original instructions for a more limited version of this required it to be put in "config.asp". That won't work with my addition, because the connection string hasn't been configured. Instead, I added it to "inc_header.asp" and "inc_header_short.asp". Now, it'll redirect the abuser regardless of which spam server he/she is using.< |

In the short term you could try renaming post_info.asp to something random like 38324785_post_info.asp You will need to edit post.asp so that line 494 is changed from
" <form name=""PostTopic"" method=""post"" action=""post_info.asp""" to
" <form name=""PostTopic"" method=""post"" action=""38324785_post_info.asp"""
Thanks, won't prevent them from registering new accounts but no more new threads ! Can I use this type of trick to prevent them from replying to existing threads ? Which file should I modify for that?< |

Well this has been working well, I can seem them trying to post and then getting "stuck" ! Do you think this type of trick could be used for registration too?< |

(right(lcase(Request.Form("Email")),3)=".ru") or _

I'm using the spamserver lock add-on. Will this code work with that? if so, where would it be inserted.
Thanks Mike |
