Blocking spam based on domain

[schimanke]

Hi everybody,

is it possible to block spam comments based on their domain, for example mail.ru? I have already tried

Code: Select all

*\@mail\.ru

but to no avail. Any ideas?

How did you “try” that?

You should be able to add regular expressions to the word filter for email addresses in the configuration of the default spamblock plugin. (Which I never tried myself, but it says so.) You also need to activate the word filter by setting it to either moderate or block. I assume that's what you tried, but it's not working? Or are you using this with a different plugin and/or in a different config option?

*\@mail\.ru

That's no regular expression (at least none that makes any sense).

".+\@mail\.ru" should be (a little) better.

@YL: Yes, I tried exactly what you thought in the default spamblock plugin but it didn't work. However, the solution provided by thh obviously worked. I will monitor this.

@thh: Thank you very much! That seemed to do the trick.
