Hi,

[Generaal]

The same issue here..overflood on email spam from Russia. My webshop have dissable all these country's to reach my shop, but nothing stops. I havve blocked the IP from this emailspooler, nothing works.

[Tomik]

@tomik i encounter exactly the same thing. Wondering if they are spamming specifically TB installations

[Generaal]

Thanks Michael, I have installed this module on my TB test site, but not on the PS site. When my TB site has ready to go live, I hope this will help to prevent some spam.

[Generaal]

Tomik, I have installed the Google, the TB module help you with this case, nice work!

We had the same problems some days ago. You just need to install the offical captcha module: https://github.com/thirtybees/nocaptcharecaptcha/releases

It worked like a charm for us...

[Tomik]

Yess got captcha on now :) lets hope it works

No I dont think so. I read it recently in the PS Forum too. I guess, they either attack the PS contact form or they just search for random forms, to submit data. I am not a spamer, so I don't know their ways in detail :D But I am quite sure, that TB is not the direct intendend target.

Same here. I installed Catchpa in PS few days ago and after that, I received a message that the limit of 200 sent emails was reached...

[wakabayashi]

@Glenn Why PS? :S Also what kind of limit is this? :S

[Glenn]

:-) Still PS, for now... :-D

The limit was sent from mail server directadmin. When 200 emails are sent it will notify you and prevent sending any more emails for that day.

Hi there ! We have observed that you have a succesful Prestashop e-commerce store.

This works :)

When they are in your email system, the email will go out. I have installed the whole bunch to prevent, but nothing will work on the moment.

Has anyone encountered a similar error on the contact page?

[wakabayashi]

Have you set up the api correctly?

[Adik]

Yes, captcha protection works properly on the registration page.

[wakabayashi]

Hm I have no idea then. I only use it at the contact page and it works fine.

[Adik]

Ok fixed. I had a custom class name in the contact-form.tpl file.

BTW. For editing files I recommend the Sublime Text editor with Sublimerge 3 module. You will quickly find differences in files.

I have on my site, the free module installed. you can visit the site: https://www.block-disposable-email.com/cms/ 200 credits are free every mounth.

Hello TB folks, even the above module don't prevent the email stream from mail@ru.

[Tomik]

Well i got emails from the contact form and the captcha module fixed that.

[Generaal]

On my webshop, I have even the captcha working for the contact form, but they are in, before I have installed the captcha module.

@Generaal: It seems I use other version than you do. In my case the russian messages did stop, but a day after my email server seems hacked. I had to change passwords to make that stop. Since than (with the catchpa module) no more russian spam sent form the contact form.

my version: https://prnt.sc/ii6ici

Hello Glenn, I will try your suggestion, to change some settings on my server. I have added the mail@ru to the SpamAssassin Mail Filter on the black list, but that did't them stop. Thanks for you suggestion.
