SPAM List

Posted In General - By Geoserv On Thursday, January 21st, 2010 With 149 Comments

What’s the biggest annoyance with running a Pligg install? Dealing with SPAM. This is unique to Pligg, but because of the type of site that Pligg enables you to run, SPAMMERS love to abuse it.

Most SPAM is submitted via a script, therefore, making it super easy for SPAMMERS to riddle every Pligg install they find with their garbage. If you are like me, I spend about 3 hours a day removing SPAM from FAQPAL, that’s time I would rather spend doing almost anything else.

I have compiled a list of 1787 domain names that have been blacklisted for SPAM.

Many new Pligg owners aren’t aware that Pligg has a feature built in where you can have the script check the domain being domain to see if it has been blacklisted, if it has been, the submitter won’t be able to complete the submission.

All Pligg site should be using this feature.

To enable:

Admin – Configure – Anti-spam – Enable spam checking (set this to true)

The file that lists all sites you blacklist is located in the root folder of your Pligg install and is called local-antispam.txt.

To add a site to the list, you can manually open the file and add the URL or you can have it added by clicking the ban link in the story admin panel.

To get you started, here is the list of sites I have compiled.

    For the paid Mail Plus version there are individual filters. That means
    that when you click on “spam” that email goes to the spam folder and
    YOUR filter is trained to stop it the next time. If you click on “spam”
    by mistake you must click on “not spam” the next time you receive that
    email to reverse it.

    With Postini’s Email Protection Service, any e-mail address on your list of approved senders won’t be set aside as spam. The Approved Senders list assists with preventing false positives – however, they also can make e-mail vulnerable as some senders can send trick e-mails that falsify the sender’s address to make it past the spam filters.

    I used Pligg bit it was always hit by spam, posts in non relevant categories,non working email ids, still the posts managed to get into the database. I tried many things, blocking the domains, using word filter plugin to disallow spam from getting posted, etc. Nothing worked then i had to delete the entire site with 30,000 members and around 100,000 posts, not sure how many of them were actually real users with genuine posts. Now i am using Hotaru, still i find many posts in non relevant categories.
