Spamfilters for aliased commands ?
Posted: Sat Nov 27, 2004 2:52 pm
Hello,
Our network is currently receiving an excess of false nickserv registrations. Our services sends confirmation emails to every new registered user. The bots that are registering are using the bogus email address:
[email protected]
All of the bots registering have different nicknames & come from different IPs. We attempted to simply add this to our spamfilter for private message & private notice. We kept receiving bogus registrations until we tested further..
The bots are using the nickserv alias:
/Nickserv register pass [email protected]
or /ns etc
When tested none of the spamfilter types catch this.
Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance for the help.
