Are you looking for a way to ban all nicks of that format? If so, here ya go /spamfilter add u gline - Go_away ^((?-i)[a-z](?i)[0-9]){4}! The (?-i) and (?i) force it to be lowercase. [a-z] means a letter, [0-9] means a number, and {4} means repeated four times. I put the ^ and the ! to ensure that t...

A lot of people use BOPM, but if you use BOPM remember to reconfigure it to use another DNS Blacklist (DNSBL) because the default blacklist went down. Do you know of a viable alternate blacklist? Try these threads on searchirc.org: http://searchirc.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=2499&highlight=blac...

Look up these two proxy scanners. BOPM (Blitzed Open Proxy Monitor, i think) and OPSB (Open Proxy Scanning Bot? not sure). They are highly effective.

The local authorities always take forever to do Internet stuff. If he's a small fish and not really fencing too many goods, then the authorities won't invest too much money into taking him down. Sadly.

To DragonRyder, try this:

I think that is the message. I've seen it before.

regex match is: The spammer is taking a gamble putting http://www.mirc.com in his message, but i suppose it might help his credibility. But that's the social engineerer in me talking.

We've got the processing power to handle complex spamfilters and we don't like banning entire ISPs unless we absolutely need to. We pride ourselves on balancing security with openness, which is why I love spamfilters so much.

Hallo, We've been getting those bots too, and they have been spamming other stuff, so we just banned the entire ISP with as much other info as we could. Here are some things I gleaned from our spamfilter logs: aioiu!~aioiu@pc12.zippcomplex.iasi.rdsnet.ro:Real name zeofb!~zeofb@pc13.zippcomplex.iasi....

But wildcards dont match the "certain syntax rules" =P

what is regex? :roll: A regular expression (abbreviated as regexp or regex, with plural forms regexps, regexes, or regexen) is a string that describes or matches a set of strings, according to certain syntax rules. --from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regex Regex is like a way more powerful version ...

And the person using mIRC can always unblock em. Or if somebody is upgrading from 6.16 to 6.17, and replaces the 6.17 mirc.ini with the 6.16 mirc.ini, then it is automatically unblocked.

And btw, mIRC 6.17 was released. A lot of people still haven't switched over though. So banning everybody but 6.17 is a good way to get rid of a ton of people. Also, you might accidentally ban those using excursion or other scripts that overwrite the version reply or reply with their own, especiall...

Jason: Your spamfilter is too restrictive (expansive? however you take it). For example, it caught the following legitamate DCCs (filenames/IP/nicks removed) (x is a letter, # is a number): [17:20] -IRC.Chavicol.net- [Spamfilter] xxxxxxx!xxxxxxx@##.##.##.### matches filter '^\x01DCC SEND [^ ]{8,} ([...
