Automate Spammer list upload

posts: 8 England

Hi

I have a little site, with Captcha to stop bot spams, but I'm still getting a lot of fake registrations and Spam postings.

Googling, I found:

''Spam-IP.com provides a free Spam Blacklist that is updated hourly and powered by people from all over the world. Download the spam ip blacklist .CSV (also updated hourly) and use it to power your own filtering application or hardware.

You can even automate the process if you want to. The format for the hourly download is the following. spam-ip.com_04-19-2014.csv in PHP that would be
spam-ip.com_.csv

So if I wanted to download the file for today I would try to download the file http://spam-ip.com/csv_dump/spam-ip.com_04-19-2014.csv

The .csv files are generated a few times daily, this insures you are getting the most up to date content as possible. If you use our service please link to us on your site somewhere. Thanks!

We just ask that you help support the site in some form. You can do that by grabbing a Spam HoneyPot button or by writing a blog post or page about our project. Please spread the word, and of course continue to Turn In Spammers!

Is it possible to have a script that regularly updates this free Million plus list into tikiwiki?

Hi MarkR2:

Even if coding a new feature like that wouldn't require much effort from an experienced consultant, there is another approach that proved to be effective in most cases: enable the passcode field in the registration process, and choose to show the passcode to users registering.

The Admin Wizard will help you set it up (or using Admin home > Login).

If you want to try the csv import for the banning feature, you will find a sample csv file at the second of the documentation pages for Banning:
