2009 - Year of the creative junk mail?

Between all the innovations that before my time with regard to the blog and my other projects - everything shines, so beautifully again - there were just one? Spam comment? what gives me hope even at twilight based graphic design changes.

There are five houses in five different colors In each house lives a different nationality. These five owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of pet cigar and keep a certain. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage. The Clues: The Brit lives in the Red house. The Swede keeps dogs as pets. The Dane drinks tea. The Green House is on the left of the White House. The Green House's owner drinks coffee. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill. The man in the center house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill. The man who smokes Blue Master drinks beer. The German smokes Prince. The Norwegian lives next to the Blue House. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water. The QUESTION: Who owns the fish?

And of course you can not something like this can be resolved ...

Webmail and spam

Spam filters are necessary

As it is now necessary for almost any e-mail address a spam filter einzusetzten, many manufacturers of email clients have done so already.

But what is with webmail clients, such as used by me phlyMail ?

Problems with SpamAssassin and Confixx

Now, conveniently in this PHP Webmail client already installed an option to filter spam using external tool. As a default setting is overridden by SpamAssassin

  spamassassin <$ 1> $ 2 

invoked, but this leads received when retrieving mail from a hail of errors because Confixx web server defaults to the $ HOME directory is not writable. These settings are on easy web hosting in most cases determined by the host, and so not changeable. So, somehow had found another way to forth.

  spamassassin-p / var/www/web247/files/spam/user_prefs <$ 1> $ 2 

This change means that SpamAssassin now using the file user_pref itself can be configured. Naturally this must be the one hosting its global Config have allowed ...

Reputable providers on spamming?

Suddenly it started, 64th. 105 ... 210 new messages.

But this time not with normal spam, how to know him otherwise, of dubious Viagra, sex or, more recently, vacuum cleaners and record sellers, but with error string from various mail servers, which meant that someone was not sent to me undeliverable.

Unfortunately proposes to such messages, which otherwise are quite useful, the spam filter and I could not sort out first.

So the next time my dear spammers, to update it once their email addresses or better yet send with their own address!

New Blog Spammer!

Beginnings of the WordPress spam
Initially, spammers were still using the comment feature of WordPress for their advertising messages on internet sites would see to. Once this was done but by plugins such as Akismet is almost impossible, torn spammers searched for new ways to spread their usually more damaging to the Seitenruf links to pornographic material or tablets such as Viagra. The trackback function which Blogossphäre another as a network attack, but again, the community could intervene quickly.

Spammers find new ways
Who thought that all possibilities are covered seemingly far has been lacking, because recently I record continuous registrations of people with dubious names and rather random-looking e-mail addresses. So far, they still behave, but what will zun try these accounts yet?

The plugin, which prevents!
Anyway, I have this rather annoying new proteges of spammers firstonce off using a plugin here. The plugin is called WP-Deadbold and reviews the domains of email addresses of users logging on using a white or black list, and prohibits the registration, if it comes to conflict.

To download the plugin, there is here.
WP-3 Deadbold

I hope are now no more loopholes.

Spam fighting? Forget it!

is filtered by the now almost 100% of all thanks to Akismet spam from the comments, I thought now lean back.

But wrong thought, suddenly a wave came Trackback spammers.

What do you do, however, correct a plugin has her check out what trackbacks. The best way I came here, the solution to the " Simple Trackback Validation plugin is used. Here are the same pages that are sent along as the origin of the trackbacks, checked to see whether there exists a link to your own site. Is not there like it for spam is almost always the case, the trackback comes in the moderation queue.

On a spam-free time.

Spam, now estethisch?

Since I visit again purely routine moderate my website, yet so hated around the back to remove all spam. Could be made but in spite of all security mechanisms and what I see?

Spam, one of the worst epidemics digital

How often do we receive daily advertising? On websites, in television or in magazines, everywhere advertise colorful ads for the most impossible things.

Against these forms, it can certainly have no objection, since they even sometimes more sometimes less can handle easily.

But what about the advertising arrives directly with you, on your home PC? Given that promises to big gains, great women and all healing products and given the best, once you have replied to such a dubious message, then the number of messages grows almost immeasurably.

Yes, the talk is of spam that arrives not only by mail or unwanted calls, no, now blogs, guest books, forums and many other forms of communication in the network converted to virtual billboards.

Here in the blog statistics still looks sober, 13 spam comments were blocked successfully.

What are we to do against advertising on the Messenger, such as ICQ, MSN or Yahoo, to name but a few. are anti-spam tools are not yet! Address block does not help! The only help what it is never to publish his address on the net, who is even in the case has no chance, then you can such messages as:

Hey there... I'm doing a LIVE STRIPTEASE on my webcam for all my friends! Let me know if you would like to watch me and I'll send you the link.

just ignore yet. Of course several times a day, it is even a guarantee!

This is supposed to be only the beginning of the flagpole, as it was read in a very interresting article in the Berliner Zeitung, are in spam mails now even used pieces of Shakespeare and other great poets to the bypass on words based filtering of spam emails.

Hope we will make the anti-spam tools and such progress, as do the spammers now, because otherwise only helps to lead a life completely separate from the Internet.

Let us surprise you, as in a year or two looks, whether we then have to resort to completely different way of communication back, for spam and viruses can destroy networks, a great example of this is the KaZaA P2P network, which today almost disappeared completely in Nirvana seems to be.

Believing in a spam-free future, BODY Snatch.

Manuals, errors, and relaxation

Today, I once found the time to the site in www.body-snatcher.ath.cx to update a little, therefore, there are now a different structure, which is based on subdomains, so that I can the traffic be better distributed. About the thttpd web server can easily be implemented subdomains, but you have to reboot the server every time one creates a new, or was linked to an existing folder deletes. Something like is, of course not in the manual, but found out after all have egos.

Moreover, now is also body-snatcher.ath.cx, as the last page, equipped with a Sitemap been.

But now WordPress again today I finally came to the fact that Akismet plug-in here to install. This is an antispam plugin, which reviewed the comments made here are based on a central database, and filters. The installation was fairly simple, but for my taste a little too long. There has so far worked perfectly and this blog should not be more victims of large spam attacks.
