All IP or e-mail addresses are identified as **Spam** (suspicious access) or **Ham** (allowed access) based on **BlackList** or **WhiteList** or provider checks. You may use one or more of the following providers - **Intern**Caching of testing results. Definition of **BlackList** or **WhiteList**. - **[Spamhaus](https://www.spamhaus.org/)**Testing IP address. - **[Honeypot](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/)**Testing IP address. - **[StopForumSpam](http://www.stopforumspam.com)**Testing IP and mail address. - **[Spam and Open Relay Blocking System (SORBS)](http://www.sorbs.net)**Testing IP address. - **[SpamCop](https://www.spamcop.net/)**Testing IP address. - **[BlockList](http://www.blocklist.de)**Testing IP address. - **[NixSpam](http://www.dnsbl.manitu.net)**Testing IP address. - **[UCE Protect](http://www.uceprotect.net)**Testing IP address (Level 1+2+3). - **[Abusive Host Blocking List](https://www.ahbl.org)**Testing IP address. - **[Weighted Private Block List](http://www.wpbl.info)**Testing IP address. - **[BotScout](http://www.botscout.com)**Testing IP and mail address. - **[FSpamList](http://www.fspamlist.com)**Testing IP and mail address. - **[IPStack](https://ipstack.com/)**Allow access for selected countries. **Installation** - Install Plugin - Create a new **Frontend module** of typ \**SpamBot-IP* \*or **SpamBot-Mail**. Configure which provider should be used. - Create a new page (optional) to which suspicious visitor should be redirected or check and update template **mod\_spambot** according to your requirements (existing template supports German and English messages). - Include module either in **Page layout** or on one or more pages as **Page element**. **Usage** - All visitor IP / mail addresses are checked and in case of suspicious visitor (**Spam**) either a message is displayed or visitor is redirected to a preselected page. - Using a new menu option in BackEnd (in Account management) you can specify addition IP / mail addresses or regular expressions in **BlackList** or **WhiteList**. - After checking the IP address, the following **InsertTags** are available in all templates: - `{{SpamBot::clientIP}}` IP address checked. - `{{SpamBot::Typ}}` Spam typ. - `{{SpamBot::Engine}}` Spam provider name (probably with link). - `{{SpamBot::Status}}` Status message. **Specifics** - Search engines were called in parallel. With this special solution operational capacity is enlarged dramatically. - We recommend using modules only on page level. - Depending on which / how many provider you want to use latency time for displaying pages are extended. If you include module e.g. only on registration page and/or on contact page all other pages will be displayed faster. - If you use a Internet site with multi-language support you may define multiple Frontend modules with a a language specific redirection page. - With this plugin you may lock specific pages from being displayed (in your intranet) using the **BlackList** or allow only specific visitors to see these pages using **WhiteList**. - You may use **SpamBot-Mail** in any form of your choice. Please don't forget to include modul at top of your page and in your Forms to configure the Inputfield E-Mail with the Configuration check for E-Mails. **Testing** - We highly recommend making any tests on a page not visible for other visitors or on a local copy of your Internet site (may bee you will lock or potential customers during testing :-). - Allow logging of **Ham** IP / mail access. - Open you prepared page in front end. - Take a look at the IP / mail address in BackEnd. - Check IP / mail address with configured provider and analyze result. - Modify record and change type to **Spam**. - Reload your modified page in browser and check results.
