0 vincentdenkspel Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 @tomik i encounter exactly the same thing. Wondering if they are spamming specifically TB installations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Generaal Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Generaal Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Tomik, I have installed the Google, the TB module help you with this case, nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wakabayashi Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 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...

0 Tomik Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yess got captcha on now :) lets hope it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wakabayashi Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 @vincentdenkspel said in Preventing spam: @tomik i encounter exactly the same thing. Wondering if they are spamming specifically TB installations 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Glenn Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wakabayashi Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 @Glenn Why PS? :S Also what kind of limit is this? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Glenn Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 :-) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Generaal Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Adik Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Yes, captcha protection works properly on the registration page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wakabayashi Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hm I have no idea then. I only use it at the contact page and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adik Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Generaal Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 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. 01519216818108medcontrolemailfree.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Generaal Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hello TB folks, even the above module don't prevent the email stream from mail@ru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tomik Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Well i got emails from the contact form and the captcha module fixed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Generaal Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 On my webshop, I have even the captcha working for the contact form, but they are in, before I have installed the captcha module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Glenn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Generaal Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
