Blocking spam bots

Skype needs to do a better job with their spam servers and filter Internet traffic for the end users. Afterall, Skype is owned and operated by Microsoft. Least they can do is upgrade their security appliances and block known bot nets. Least with Skype for business has a lot more security controls and there's absolutly no chat bots trolling our employees. I'm getting tried of blocking these creative automated bots.

  • E Mail Forms and Spam Bots

    I have created a form and using a PHP script to forward the
    form results to an e mail account. How protected is this from
    harvesting the e mail address by spam bots? If this is not the best
    way to go, any suggestions on a better method. I'm familiar with
    captcha but would prefer not to have to use this.
    thnx
    Fred

    If the email address is ONLY mentioned in the PHP script,
    it's completely
    secure.

  • Amavisd log - Blocked SPAM

    Hello,
    We are experiencing a Blocked SPAM for a real e-mail on our Tiger Server machine.
    An excerpt from /var/log/amavisd.log looks like below:
    Jun 29 20:52:49 students.nese.com /usr/bin/amavisd[26186]: (26186-06) Blocked SPAM, <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>, Hits: 6.718, tag=-999, tag2=4, kill=4, L/Y/Y/Y
    Oct 29 04:23:28 students.nese.com /usr/bin/amavisd[7670]: (07670-04) Blocked SPAM, <[email protected]> -> <[email protected]>, Hits: 6.639, tag=-999, tag2=4, kill=4, L/Y/Y/Y
    the e-mails from "[email protected]" is a real e-mail and for some reason everything that comes in from uhak.com domain has been "Blocked". We are using zen.spamhaus.org for spam filter and I have checked that uhak.com ip address was not on their blacklist. However this domain was blacklisted someplace else (eg. korea.services.net) BUT we do not use that Korea.services.net service. Also uhak.com's rev DNS lookup resolve to spam.mailwood.com (which sounds suspicious)...
    I've read somewhere that Spamassasin does not block spam, it'll just marked it is that true?
    Is there a way to allow our mail server to receive emails from uhak.com but still have spam filter on (we do not want to be vulnerable to spams).
    Thank you very much for your kind assistance!
    Sumomo

    This is not being blocked by an RBL (i.e. spamhaus.org), but by SpamAssassin based on other criteria which make it seem spam (can't tell without seeing mail).
    I've read somewhere that Spamassasin does not block spam, it'll just marked it is that true?
    This depends on the settings in /etc/amavisd.conf. The default setting on Mac OS X Server is to discard spam above kill level and at the same time tag and kill level are set to be the same. Thus, resulting in everything above 4 in your case to be discarded.
    Edit /etc/amavisd.conf and change:
    $sakill_leveldeflt = $satag2_leveldeflt;
    to:
    $sakill_leveldeflt = 10.0;
    save and restart mail services.
    This will mark all spam between 4 and 10, but send it on to the users. Mails above 10 will be discarded.

  • Spam Bots and Hyperlinks

    I'm putting in email address' in our MUG's newsletter. In Pages I can create some text such as Chief Geek and in the hyperlink input mailto:[email protected] (Not real email address") to make it a live link. When I export to PDF the links work great in Preview what I'm wondering is if Spam Bots can pick up on the email address' when I do it this way? Otherwise I will have to change our address' to something more like
    [email protected] and have them remove the NoSpam part.
    Our PDF's are posted online on our website.

    Yes, the spam bots can pick it up. They can pick it up even if it is not a hyperlink in the pdf unfortunately.

  • Is it possible to block spams in Mail on iPad?

    Is it possible to block spams in Mail on iPad?

    There really is no spam filter on iPad.  One usually sets spam filters on the main mail server on either Mac or PC.  For example, my Yahoo spam does not appear in my Yahoo mailbox on iPad.  It does appear in the spam folder on Yahoo mail on my PC.

  • Need to find a SPAM bot on the network

    How can I use my PIX-515e firewall to locate the source of a SPAM bot on a network? The PIX is running v6.3.5.

    How about creating an access list on your Inside interface, for traffic flowing from your internal network out to the Internet. Permit your internal mail servers to talk on smtp (port 25) outbound, and deny all other hosts. Then just look for the hosts that get DENYs on port 25.
    You could/should also be looking at an IPS solution, either Cisco's or open source (eg. Snort.) I'd also suggest looking at BotHunter, which is a customized version of Snort thats tuned to -just- look for Bots.

    How do you block spam mail on your ipad 2 and iphone 4s?

    There are no Settings for that in the mail app. You have to set those filters on the server in your web mail accounts

    How to block spam email sender on iMac ?

    You can setup a Junk mail filter in Mail preferences, it will still enter your mailbox but be under a Junk folder. You can then check and if required delete the mail.
    In this web page note the option of applying the filter via webmail on an IMAP server such as iCloud.
    http://itservices.stanford.edu/service/emailcalendar/email/spam/filters/osx
    Another option is a commercial filter for Mail, this one but I know nothing about this software, a google search will probably find others.

  • How to Block spam,malware in exchange server 2013

    How to block spam,junk mails inexchange server 2013 with out blocking normal mail. when i tried enable antispam on my sonicwall some important mails also removed. how to rectify these issues

    Hi ,
    To get it corrected , please contact sonicwall vendor to reduce the aggressive blocking in sonicwall.
    If you are not interested in third party solutions please use the EDGE SERVER as your smarthost and on that EDGE server you can enable Anti-Spam features to block the forged connections and fake mails.

  • Spam bots & e-mail links

    Hi,
    if I add an unprotected e-mail address to my pages, it's a real gift for spam bots.
    Is a "masked" address safer? I mean, +"My Name"+ with "[email protected]" added as invisible URL? Will this masked address be found by spam bots, too?
    And is the only solution to shredder the mail address to +"my.e.mail (at) me.com"+ ?

    I've done it by using the HTML font code to change the font and color. It's a hit or miss thing. This demo page shows a snippet that I've applied it to:
    The code is as follows as displayed here: 2 ways to encode an email address
    <xmp>
    <a id='contactMe'><font color="#0033FF" size="3" face="Georgia">Email Me</font></a>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    Assemble Obfuscated email address and set div id='contactMe' href
    ObsArray = new Array();
    ObsArray.push('mai');
    ObsArray.push('lto');
    ObsArray.push(':');
    ObsArray.push('my'); // your break up email address starts here
    ObsArray.push('name');
    ObsArray.push('@');
    ObsArray.push('me');
    ObsArray.push('.');
    ObsArray.push('com'); // your break up email address ends here
    function setContactMe() {
    var ObfuscatedHref = '';
    for (ii=0; ii<ObsArray.length; ii++) {
    ObfuscatedHref += ObsArray[ii];
    document.getElementById('contactMe').href=ObfuscatedHref;
    chkEmail = setInterval('checkEmail()', 100);
    function checkEmail() {
    if (document.getElementById('contactMe') != null) {
    clearInterval(chkEmail);
    }}</script>
    </xmp>
    *(Ignore the <xmp></xmp> tags when using)*
    See the code around the Email Me at the top? That's how to change the font, size and color. You can apply that to the test in a snippet. It would look like this: Email Me

  • Blocking Spam Emails by subject name in Exchange Server 2013

    Hello Guys,
    I need to know how to block spams by subject from Exchange Server 2013's Anti-spam/message filter.
    In general, I'm using Exchange's anti-spam agents and configured spam blocking by domain name.. but I need to filter unnecessary emails by subject name also.
    So, if you know how to resolve this issue, please post here the real solution..
    Thanks a lot,

    Hi GMG,
    Thank you for your question.
    We could install Exchange 2013 edge server, then we could create item which block spam base on subject name in “Protection”, we could refer to the following link:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124701%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    There is a another method, we could use transport rule to filter spam by subject name by the following link:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351127(v=exchg.150).aspx
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • Block spam emails

    How do I block spam emails from getting into my received emails?

    The iPad itself cannot do it.  It must be done at the server, i.e. by your email provider.

  • Spam-bot protection

    How well does the spam bot protection on the registration page work? Do you guys still get a significant number of "illegitimate users" signing up everyday? My forum gets about 20 per day and it's not that popular, and I'm tired of deleting them all.

    Actually, I can count the spammers we've had since I added that on one hand (though I might have to cheat and use binary). It works very well so long as whatever you do is unique to your site. So whether it's a question that in itself contains the answer, a math problem, or an option box with the default set to failure (bots will often pick the default for unknown fields, that's the logic here), or whatever, it doesnt even have to be all that clever, you can stop most of your spam.

  • Blocking spam calls

    This does not apply when the solicitor calls from a 3 or 4 digit number...which I have been continually bothered with lately. How can we block calls from 3 and 4 digit numbers?
    Thanks so much for helping me.

    This has become an epidemic of Spam calls, do not call lists are ignored and Verizon is sitting back laughing at us waiting for us to spend more to block calls that should be blocked by Verizon after the see the activity. Why don't you have a place to report these numbers? Why isn't it free to block all of these when we report a number?
    Get with it Verizon, your going to lose customers if you don't act.
    I guess I'm thankful I can block the five numbers for free with an indefinite times I can renew the block every 90 days. I hear that you would have to subscribe to blocking control to block just one number if you are an AT&T customer.
