Hi, i have a channel on my server with VhostServ in order to assign vhosts to any user. So the user needs to enter the channel, type " !vhost my.vhost "
and then !hs on

But the problem now is that i want to block those vhosts that could be administrative ones. Example:

Administrator.MyServer.Com
NetAdmin.Staff.com
IRCOP.ServicesAdmin
(an so on...)

I tryed with a spamfilter like this:

/spamfilter add cpnNPtq block 1h INVALID_VHOST !vhost *admin*

But the word 'admin' must be at the first part of the second line =/.

[12:38] <RopeTest> !vhost admin
#vhost Message blocked: INVALID VHOST

[12:41] <RopeTest> !vhost admin.rope
#vhost Message blocked: INVALID VHOST

[12:42] <RopeTest> !vhost rope.admin
[12:42] <VhostServ> RopeTest, please register your nick first.
(here the spamfilter doesnt match) And i want it to also match this.

I also tryed with

/spamfilter add u block 1h INVALID_VHOST/NICK/IDENT *admin*

But it doesn't block the vhosts with admin

How can i do ?

Thanks!

try using .* instead of * because regular expressions are NOT the same as wild char matching. Also have a read of the apendixes of the UnrealIRCd documentation on regular expressons to help.

The reason your spamfilter doesnt match is because * means that the character immediatly before it can repeat 0 or MORE times.

So in other words try the following as your spamfilter command:

/spamfilter add c block 1h INVALID_VHOST !vhost .*admin.*

Just put it as admin... since you're only wanting to match one thing in a users nick host or ident, you don't need any wildcards.

/spamfilter add u block 1h INVALID_VHOST/NICK/IDENT admin

but instead of using spamfilter to block it, why not just change the bot to block it?

Thank you! It worked!

I'll read those mans you sayid.
