Being Flooded With Spam Email

11 replies
Hi everyone I have an interesting situation I'm dealing with. I am constantly receiving hundreds of spam emails on a daily basis at a site I recently set up. Can anyone tell me why I am being so blessed and suggest a solution? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Not sure about emails but I've just started using the Akismit plugin to take control of Junk comments through wordpress.

    Are you getting rubbish comments as well or just dodgy emails? You might need to play with the email filters if that's the case.

    Cheers

    Jon

    I use the Defensio plugin and it works very well for me. It takes about a week or so to get 100% of the spam comments.

    Spam comments or emails to your website mail server?

    Are you using a contact form or have you got your email published somewhere on your pages? if so it will be scraped and spammed, remove it asap.

    A much more useful option would be a three-way filtering:
    A) Everything which I specifically allow goes to my inbox
    B) Everything which I specifically disallow is permanently deleted
    C) Everything else goes into my spam folder for manual sorting

    Remove your email address from your website and this should fix the spam problems

    For Wordpress blogs I use stop spammer registrations plugin. it has stopped hundreds of attacks.
    For emails I disable the catch-all mailbox and only use specific named email names I have set up. I still get spam emails but far fewer than the catch-all used to give me.

    If you have a blog and people can post comments, I would not allow everyone to post.

    You can actually moderate this and allow only a few comments that you really like and have value in them.

    Try to approve the comments manually, so you can prevent spam comments to appear on your site.
    You can also use stop spammer plugin, which works very efficiently and blocks all spam emails.
