JJAntispam Plugin

Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
JJAntispam helps you prevent spam registration on your Joomla website by checking the spammer's signature against the spambusted.com spammer database. If the user that tries to register gets a positive hit, he is denied registration.

In version 1.3 if you block users you are automatically reporting them to SpamBusted. This way their IP will never bother you again.

In version 1.4 you can add an extra layer of security by checking against Botscout as well. Since version 1.4 uses Joomla transport layer for server-to-server communication, Joomla 2.5 is most recommended.

Two days ago received an email from my site stating that there was a new person registered to the site. Only issue is there is no registration module or any ability to register anywhere on the site.

Based on JJAntispam plugin description I checked the email address against the spambuster.com site and sure enough the email was listed.
Not sure of the mechanism of registering without the module even if it is an automated hack. But I sure will be using this plugin to block such further security violation.

I like that there is a spam database you can report the ip address to.

Thank you for your kind review. More improvements will come soon, including BotScout filtering and/or Project Honeypot.
