@rjcalifornia: You saved me, buddy. :)

@RJ: Stopforumspam service was offline yesterday. My plugin, to avoid false positives, always accept registrations if the service is off. And my plugin needs a forensics approach. You need to analise the emails nad create blacklisted domains to be more effective.

I repeat: I had 100 spammers / day and now I have 2 or 3.

But yesterday the service was down. Bad day to find a bug in your registration e-mail. :)

@RJ: Check the configuration page of the plugin and be sure to be notified by e-mail about blocked spammers. Like I said, its good to forensics jobs. ELGG official community uses my antispam and appears to be working.

Not sure where to put blocked ips list.  I have tracker and spam_login_filter installed.

I have "use ip blacklist" set to yes but there is no place to enter ips.

Can you help.

Thanks.

@Montana: The ip filter is stored only for blocked spammers. Its a automated feature. You can remove blocked ips in administration area, but you cant, for now, insert new ips.

Understood.

But the filter doesn't seem to be working.  I have received several new members from China. The latest from 163.com email domain.  I set up the filter to block all China ips.

Thanks RayJ, giving it a try.

@Montana: To country filter works, you need a fassim api key. I will release a new version with better settings page and a good help text.

Thanks,

I've been trying, unsuccessfuly, to get a key from them for a week.

I'll keep trying.

@Ray J - I blacklisted the "163.com" domain name, but I'm still getting registrations using email addresses @163.com.  I'm assuming that filter shouldn't require a Fassim key?  They're certainly not too quick to hand those things out, I've been waiting 3 days now for mine...  Also, I do have a key for stopforumspam, and after 3 days I don't have a single blacklisted IP yet I've had to delete 8 accounts.  Any way to test it (without getting myself listed as a spammer)?

@Matt: I tested my plugin in 1.8 and domain blacklist doesnt work. Are you using ELGG 1.8? Had you enabled the "Use domain blacklist"?

Hey! Just a note: You dont have to use TinyMCE in plugin parameters? He stores a "p" tag in parameter, screwing up my function. Try to disable the rich text editor before store the parameters.

Using 1.7.14 at the moment.  I'm upgrading to 1.8 on my localhost, but the issues I'm reporting are still in the 1.7 branch.
"Use domain blacklist" is enabled, but now that you mention it, tinymce is active on that field.

Hmm... even disabling the editor it still stores a <p> and the editor comes back on the next pageload.

To all users that dont have a Fassim Key: Kevin emailed me few minutes ago telling that he released about 300 api keys.

If someone dont have a API Key yet, just ask for a new one in http://www.fassim.com/

And 1.8 version is on test basis, thanks to Matt. Wait a official release soon.

How do I stop this version blacklisting my site - makes testing very hard!

@jededitor - what do you mean by blacklisting your site?

@jededitor: If you blacklisted your IP for testing purposes, you can do two things: remove the IP or disable the IP Blacklist and wait for a week. Just give a look in the plugin settings and the administrator menu.

@jededitor: In administrator´s section, select "manage blocked ips" and delete the ip.

No it 's not working! Everytime i delete it and try again it just rejects the registration and adds the IP number to the blacklist again.

BTW I'm working directly on my web server here.. (192.168.0.1)

@jededitor: You must have a blacklisted e-mail. Try to disable stop forum spam service. Have you "reported" your own e-mail as spammer? In this case, you blacklisted yourserlf.

@jededitor: And, please, don´t delete your previous comments, ok? It´s good to have a feedback history to help new users.

disabling stop forum spam service didn't help..

Ok, show me the error message and paste the e-mail that you receive when the registration is blocked.

I found it - Its the fassim service. I think someone (somehwere on the internet) must have added 192.168.0.1 to the blacklist as it certainly wasn't me (innocent)

Maybe something should be added to the plugin to prevent LAN IP numbers from being sent to fassim or stopspamforum just in case?
