TrashMail.com Forum

And how do protect against humans who write spam paid in low salary countries? I believe that the vast majority of spam posts, are made by humans and not totally automated bots, so this works against human spammers too. I am not saying it's perfect, but as long as they need email and IP to register...

I use http://www.stopforumspam.com/
It's not perfect, but it's free and because everybody can contribute to it's database, it catch them fast.

A service built to fight spam, gets spam on it's forum.
If someone doesn't think the technical stuff, it's ironic!

Happy vacations!

Oh, and for those who haven't decided yet: http://visitgreece.gr/
And now take some broken smilies for a change!

The reason I have decided to finally post about it, is because until yesterday, I thought that the reason was some faulty scripts or custom mail systems/configurations. But now, for the first time I know the origin and I can't look the other way. Also, now that this is on forum, more customers might...

This isn't something new, as I keep informing the admin each time I get an empty email instead of the email I should have received. Emails like that, do not have a body, only headers. What makes them unique is the content of those headers: "From" is always the following: From: [email protected]...

I mean, editing the addon's code manually, will allow it to work like I did with cont?

May I suggest putting it on the forum's bad-words list, just in case?

Sweet!

Is it supported by the Trashmail API?

Totally understandable, but I guess there is nothing that can be done to the first email that is sent to the faked FROM sender, asking him to verify, so there is still the danger.
Is there a way to not send the email at all if you can't validate that the FROM address is legit?

Then how about using custom trashmail MX server that you provide ( possibly with different IP than the one used to serve the trashmail.net addresses, to avoid the blacklists), as I have access to DNS records? I don't know if I am allowed to disclose the rival service that I am using, but they do ex...

Yes please try first if PHP allows you a TCP connection to port 25 by this code: <?php $client = stream_socket_client("tcp://smtp.trashmail.net:25", $errno, $errorMessage); if ($client === false) { die("Failed to connect: $errorMessage"); } echo fgets($client); fclose($client); ...

Admin wrote:Do you can only install PHP scripts on your shared server environment?

Unfortunately yes.

Admin wrote:Does they allow port 25 connections to other SMTP servers?

Is it possible to pass me a PHP script that can test port 25 connection to your server?

Will that work while on a shared server environment, with no ability to install custom binaries?

The user Z has an excellent solution to this problem. You would like it, and it will work as I'm currently rebuilding the backend. He will post it later this week-end on the forum. Exciting news. Thank you mystery user Z (and of course, thank you Stephan)! Will that address the short-live reply add...
