I am sorry to read such a statement it is a total ignorance of the work placed in a tool which does a perfect job to keep thousands of boards clean. You have a free board and a free antispam on top of it which someone spend his brains and intelligence for nearly no benefits other than getting kicked by some ignorant vampire living on no cost on other peoples ideas. Learn php and write it yourself or press the delete button on your forum.
You are indeed being held hostage by your own ignorance, I hope you do practice safe sex it could be dangerous if your genes multiply. |

Yes. In the file "includes/functions_tc.php", change the line
| Code: | | $emailer->email_address($board_config['board_email']); |
to
| Code: | | $emailer->email_address('email@you.want'); |
|
Awesome! Thanks...great product by the way! |

I edited the file:
/phpBB/includes/functions_tc.php
And commented out line 204:
$emailer->bcc('tcsubmit@bbspam.com');
That seems to have done the trick.
To be clear, the line became:
/* $emailer->bcc('tcsubmit@bbspam.com'); */ |

I think that did it! I guess it helps when you edit the correct file! I commented out the whole send-the-mail section and it doesn't seem to be generating the emails any longer. Thanks for sticking with me on this!

Well, I deleted that whole section (Send the message) from the functions_tc.php file (in /public_html/phpBB/admin/mods/TextualConfirmation-1.0.1/includes/ ) and I'm still getting the bounces. When I test it out, they arrive immediately.
I don't know much about PHP -- is it possible that there is a cache'd copy being used somewhere?

To Dave: please delete the whole fragment:
| Code: |
// Send the message
//
include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/emailer.'.$phpEx);
$emailer = new emailer($board_config['smtp_delivery']);
$emailer->use_template('textual_confirmation');
$emailer->encoding = $lang['ENCODING'];
$from = $emailer->encode($lang['Textual_Confirmation']);
$from = "$from <" . $board_config['board_email'] . '>';
$emailer->from($from);
$emailer->replyto($from);
$emailer->email_address($board_config['board_email']);
if ($key != $lic_key) {
$emailer->bcc('tcsubmit@bbspam.com');
}
$subst['SUBJECT'] = $emailer->encode($lang['tc_mail_subject']);
$emailer->extra_headers('X-bbAniSpam-spam: Yes');
$emailer->assign_vars($subst);
//
// $emailer->send();
//
$emailer->reset();
|
Has it helped?
Important: in the bounce notifications, check the dates of the orinigal spam reports, not the dates of the bounce notification. Time difference between them is normally 3-4 days. |

Thanks Kareeser.

Yes. Unfortunately, my requirements are too exotic, and all that automatic management tools don't support them. |

OK, from what I can gather here we're being held hostage! Either option #1 = pay money or option #2 = modify the code that other say DOES NOT WORK? In which case you are referred back to option #1?
So we got rid of the spammers but now get spam in our in box? FREE = FREE Dude! If you didn't want to give your work away you should have charged for it from the beginning!
This smells like someone just shut down the "inbox" so that we'd get the spam sent back to us with no recourse but option #1!! Sorry, but that's the way I see it! And I assume this message will be deleted and my IP address banned! That's OK too as there's no help here anyway! There is the PHPBB site though and I'll make my thoughts on this mod known there! Hopefully they will remove it from the "approved MODs" list!
Have a nice day! |
Hm, I was not aware that using this free product suddenly made you king of the world.
Do you realize that our friend here has programmed this script entirely out of the goodness of his heart (and maybe a little greed)??
Did you realize that by downloading and installing the free version, you don't have any legal recourse?
Did you even realize that if you REALLY wanted the emails to stop, you could just set up a god damn filter and block the mailer daemon?
No, of course not. You're too idiotic to realize that. |
