More Annoying Spammer Tricks

[mneylon]

Has anyone else's boards been getting signups from letmail.info, abmail.info and smtpmail.info email addresses?

There's a few other domains they're using and none of them seem to be able to accept mail

I'm getting a dozen or more bounces from each forum I manage every 12 hours or so

i ban
*@*.info
*@*.biz
*@*.ru

All Irish based forums I run so never had legit sign ups using these, well no emails complaining about it anyway

I'd agree but .ru but .info and .biz aren't region specific and you could possibly be banning legitimate singups.

yes and no
to be honest in theory yes i could be but in practice I'd be very surprised if i was especially because of all the 200 legit signups (+100's of spam) i had before none of the leigt were .info or .biz, I'm sure most people will concur with me that most spam signups come these TLD's.

In my battle on spam I feel justified
