Re: Luftwaffe Archives and Records Group (LWAG) website possibly going down

Dear All,

As I struggle with the spam registration problem, I find that I need the assistance of someone familiar with spam control in the registration process. The software used by LWAG is vBulletin. I am just now looking into the cPanel, but really don't understand it. If there is an expert in cPanel that would be willing to answer questions, please send me a PM with your e-mail address.

One possible method of spam control is cPanel's Spam Assassin. However, this appears to be directed to e-mail spam control and I am unsure whether it has any bearing on spam control in the registration process. At the recommendation of 24hostingnow, I changed the Spam Assassin setting to 3.0 from 8.0, a more aggressive setting, but to no affect.

Also, if there is an expert in vBulletin, especially someone who has also struggled and, hopefully, overcome spam registration issues, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.

The spammer pulled a new one on me yesterday, sending me a spam message in my private message account. This smacks of intentional maliciousness, rather than an automated spam for financial gain.

Regards,
Richard
