if the database isn't created or collecting the info, you can always keep track of the IP's yourself, and place them in your ban file.

i think this piece of software is awesome. i thank you for all of your time and effort in building this code, and then giving it away for free. in only a few weeks, it has saved me many, many hours of cleanup in my bb. once the spambots found my bb, they began to wreak havoc. thanks to bbantispam - no more!!

I am trying to get a computer repair gig off the ground, and have a small php forum.

I'm getting spammed, as I'm commercial, but not breaking even, can I use your software for free? The forum I run is free to everyone? but my repairs are charged for.

You can use it for free. You have to pay only if you find the free version unconvenient.

Hi,
I run an old server and my bandwidth is limited (250mb!).
Now, I'd like to turn off the emails sent to tcsubmit@bbspam.com. I located this email address in functions_tc.php. Or, if that isn't possible, would it be safe to change the email address to an email address on my own server so it would do a virtually delivary and not using bandwidth?

Thanks,
Tim

No problem. The easies thing is to comment-out the fragment:
Code:
if ($key != $lic_key) {
  $emailer->bcc('tcsubmit@bbspam.com');
}

Commented-out, it looks so:
Code:
//if ($key != $lic_key) {
  //$emailer->bcc('tcsubmit@bbspam.com');
//}

No, it stops only sending a copy to us. If you don't know PHP, then the only way to stop e-mails to you is to buy a license.

Hi,

Firstly, many thanks for this software, my forum is now open to immediate posters, which I was unable to do beforehand.

I've changed my admin email address so my main email address isn't packed with notifications. I thought this would divert all bbantispam notifications to the new address, but it hasn't. Is there somewhere I can edit the relevant page?

Many thanks

The notifications are being sent to the board e-mail address, which can be different from the admin's e-mail address. I think you need to change the following:

* Go to Administration Panel
* General Admin/Configuration
* Email Settings/Admin Email Address

Apart from bandwith (I've got lots of other anti-spam-things too, so that's not a problem to me), why should I stop sending messages to bbantispam? It tells them I'm using their script (big deal Very Happy) and they may deduce something about the criminals that make money from spamming us. Doesn't hurt, does it?

Ok.
