Unsolicited mails are always unwelcome. Be it on forums, blog, or anywhere on the web for that matter. Despite technological advancements, Internet users are still finding it tough to tackle spammers and abusers. Now imagine you are a webmaster/forum owner, what steps would you implement to get rid of them? If you’re still clueless, then I would suggest you check out phpBB MOD and do a trial run immediately. With ATLBL anti-spam as the modification name, this spam blacklist identifies spammers/abusers based on their IP and email addresses thus keeping your forum completely protected. What’s interesting about this anti-spam service? Basically, the MOD implements a check of the ATLBL spam blacklist for several board functions as a means of preventing spam. Registration IP, registration email, profile www field, profile email, post IP, contents are the checks implemented and on a positive match, form submission is denied. Sounds quite impressive, doesn’t it? Well, with the implementation of these many checks, this ATLBL AntiSpam MOD for phpBB is definitely worth giving a try!
