I have seen on other forums that they do not aloy any free email servers ie hotmail, yahoo ect.
Something to think about.
Fear not, based on the email addresses of the spammers, less that 25% of them use free email servers. Blocking Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail wouldn't gain us much, and we'd have some unhappy people turned away because they don't want their ISP's email address in anyone's public record.MadHatter said:That means I won't be able to be on the forum!!:cry:
I don't see Hotmail spam either. It used to be so bad that I filtered out ALL Hotmail stuff. Now, I let it through with no problems.jbaakko said:I do research (type in servers into google), and it seems a majority of forums block these two servers. I recently looked at a .it domain too, but I didn't find the info I found with them. I decided that mail.ru & cashette.com had spammed me enough, and various other sites had the same issue so out they went.
Never had a hotmail.com spam yet, they're getting better.
Well, ok, I rent it, but its not hard to own a server, you buy one, hook it up to the internet and point a domain to the server's IP address. Then you set up the email boxes on the server, and wala, you own your server.
I like Spam the food but not spam on my forums.Bill Stone said:I've never understood why so many badmouth Spam the food.
I really like the stuff.
Fried slices with eggs or in a peanut butter and jam sandwich on true sour dough bread --- smells great; tastes even better!
But then I also like sardines occasionally --- much to my wife's disgust.
