Blocking multiple email addresses through php ?!

Help..

[papa_mia]

Hello

Is there a php script wherein I can add a blacklist of multiple email addresses and the script prevents them from processing any send or receive emails, especially through web forms ?

Or any script that enables me to filter email addresses which contain certain word, and denies those email addresses from send or receive through server or site ?

If there is such script I would by very happy and relieved for I'm getting really tired of spam? and I'm not a coder nor a php expert.

Or is there any free anti-spam scripts out there that I can use for this purpose ?

Have you tried a captcha script?

(Just google "captcha")

You could also log the IPs of visitors, and block the nuisance ip's.

Captchas should be a last resort as they present another challenge to your users and they are completely circumnavigable. And let's face it. We all hate them.

Banning email addresses and IP's is an endless chase. These people use compromised servers most of the time, eventually you wind up cutting out a large chunk of valid users, and it just never ends.

This will take a little digging in, you don't need to be an "expert" but you will have to work on it a bit. We're all coders (most of us) so rarely know of apps to recommend.

These are not programs but ideas you can incorporate to current scripts. here's a starter. [webmasterworld.com] This little bit alone will stop a lot of the most common automated spam in the form of link drops.

One with logging [webmasterworld.com] which is the first step to knowing thy enemy.

That, plus email validate [webmasterworld.com]
