Best help I can give

Is to tell you that your forums are being used to send porn spam. I’ve blacklisted your network till you have a chance to clean it up.

Yup, I’ve recieved the same, I’ve reported it too, I’m guessing you did the same…

Regards.

I sent a PM to Melih, but if he’s even semi-normal, he’s out enjoying the day.

It looks very bad when a company network is used as a launchpoint for any spam. Porn spam is even more of a black mark.

I would imagine that they were targetted mostly because they supply anti-spam software.

Melih is here so I guess he isn’t normal ;D Just kidding Melih, but please do something to stop this in the future! Make more moderators, limit posts, I don’t care what you do just please do something. I don’t want to have to leave like I did on the Kubuntu forums.

Are you the kettle or the pot this time? :wink:

I will need to think about that one ;D

Best help you can give me now - is to explain how he (Dean Kelly) got my email address and how I can stop him sending these pornographic emails. I really resent a security site allowing their members to be attacked this way.

Don’t worry he (or they) didn’t get your email address. You were emailed because the Kelly user sent them as personal messages (or ■■■) & you’ve set the forum to notify you (by email) when you get a PM. Thus, the forum sent you the email, not the Kelly user.

When you register to the forum, you put your email address there. You can choose for that email address to be not viewable.

I wish we built this Forum Software, it would be much safer, but we have to work with whats available -)

Is it possible that Comodo begins making the forum software and switches over eventually?

we have enough on our plate at the moment :slight_smile:

I can’t see us doing that anytime soon :slight_smile:

Melih

No problem, this forum software is usable :slight_smile:

I agree with Melih that Comodo should concentrate on building its product. But please, just try to do something with these spammers.

I agree, and I think the spammers are gone for now, they have been banned by IP, and they don’t seem to have come back.

Amateur spammers? It’s not like spammers to use a real IP.

They were Spam Bots I believe, I am not really sure, Melih has all the details.

That’s not really what I meant. But, I’m not saying any more… since if they were amateurs, then I don’t want to give them any ideas/clues.

Ok, good idea, sorry I don’t know much about spammers or anything, only been subject to it 2 times.

Welp, I just started using the firewall on my work computer yesterday.
So far so good and wonderful.
Can’t give any $$$ to help you all, but will enjoy it and enjoy spreading/promoting the
software when I can.

Thanks much.

It probably originated on a compromised PC somewhere and that poor buggers IP is now blocked. Hope he never needs to ask us a question! :-\
