Re: zem reborn security problem

If you can give me a login and send me a few complete spam mail headers, I can try to investigate it.

Receiving spam typically isn’t a security problem with ZCR. Did you install any anti-spam plugins for ZCR?

Re: zem reborn security problem

Hello,

I can give you a login but to which mail adress.
Would you recieve the spam headers on the same adress ?

I did only install ZRC and no anti spam plugins. Only ZCR and the language files ?
Which anti spam plugin do you recommend.

Re: zem reborn security problem

Try pap_contact_cleaner
If that doesn’t help, collect a large set of spam messages sent through the ZCR form and based on that a anti-spam filter can be developed targeting that specific type of spam (assuming they have things in common).

PS. you can email me on the left side of my posts.

Re: zem reborn security problem

Having looked at the logs it’s just a normal spambot problem, not a security issue with the plugin itself.

Re: zem reborn security problem

Oke,

Then I overlooked the right entry’s.
But pap-contact-cleaner link does not work.

I’m thinking about one of these 2 plugins :

mrw_spamkeywords_urlcount – acts on number of links in comment field, and certain, definable keywords.
asy_stopdude – totally transparent to users. Specifically targetted against the current spam-bots/tools

because the spam is a lot of yahoo links.

Re: zem reborn security problem

Roelof, pap_contact_cleaner still works very well against spam. You can grab a copy here. (Maybe someone can put it on textpattern.org?)

Re: zem reborn security problem

The pap_contact_cleaner link on TXP.org works just fine.

Re: zem reborn security problem

Hello,

I have another problem too.

I have this .httaccess :

#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

#Options +FollowSymLinks
#Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On #RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$ RewriteRule .* – [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
</IfModule>

#php_value register_globals 0

order allow,deny
deny from 79.142.67.109
allow from all

But now I get a 403 and no site.

Anyone who can help me ?
