SCBL Usage


Lking

Recommended Posts

FYI While setting up a new phpBB I noticed that if enabled the SpamCop Block list to filter user's IP.  spamhuas is also used.

The option cautions about "slowdowns" and false positives.  Not sure how admin will know about false positives.

"janicemcneill1" pushing fake drugs soon after?
Can you increase ReCapture to 0.9 I believe is maximum?
But then this may not be a direct SpamBot?

Seems to be blackhat "namecheap" spam which operate spambots from their domains
Can you block Namecheap domains? 198.54.112.0/20 or "198.54.112.0 - 198.54.127.255"

No I do not see a why to adjust ReCapure  As for a block of IP that would be a philological change above my pay grade.

In that light looking back at logs for the month of August, if we are going to blocks of IPs then we should block gmail and outlook. Which of course we can't.

Domain namecheap IMO need blocking, if not your pay grade whose?

You get the IP of the post, the only IP's I get are from the URL

Just realized I may be confused.  petzl are you talking about the SCBL or blocking login to the forum?

The design of the SCBL has been long established. IP addresses come and go from the list depending on established rules based on reports and emails to spam traps. Domain name are not part of the calculation.  I don't think that will ever change

On the forum blocking blocks of IPs or domains becomes capricious. Looking at the logs and email addresses of spammers first we should block gmail, outlook etc.based on the number of spam posted by those confirmed email addresses.

I’m there with Lking. Until these people post their junk, there is not knowing if they are going to spam or not.

Besides, adding changes to the forum software would only work if the company that designed the system would implement the changes. (As was mentioned in my thread by Lking)

Well were referring to Forum spam
I believe domains can be blocked from Forums by IP maybe domain (more effective) 
The villains running Namecheap seem to be Ukrainian of origin
The IP's to block if domain cannot be, are range
98.54.112.0/20 or "198.54.112.0 - 198.54.127.255"
But beyond my pay-grade
Thought phpBB could block domains using a Wildcard?
