Re: What the heck is going on with all the spam lately?

Abraham,

UA is the country code for Ukraine internet/domains.

In forums, it's done from the admin side. This software has a nice lookup hook that spits out the entire range for that particular provider. That doesn't work for the craftier spammers, but it cuts out about 85%.

Unfortunately, we don't get the same level of control in our personal email.

Re: What the heck is going on with all the spam lately?

I've been running this same forum package on a test server. Found it really helps to ban all the CN, IN, RU, and UA country IP ranges that the spam originates from and to block all the freebie email domains from IN and RU.
