Recently my personal forum has become the target of email spam, apparently always coming from different auto generated email addresses on domains like qq.com , 139.com etc that I have put on my blacklist. Clearly I am doing it wrong… can anyone advise? See screenshot. Discourse is sending emails to …

I had the same problem. I’m using the incoming mail server and tried adding qq.com to the blacklist, but it didn’t work, I think because they have apparently hacked a bunch of servers, so the mail isn’t coming from qq.com , but instead the hacked server, so the blacklist doesn’t work. I ended up jus…

Thanks, Jay! It helps to know I’m not alone. :wink:

The way i eventually solved this problem is to turn on post approval for incoming emails. This is done by setting the approval level limit to 1 instead of 0. So all posts from email gets added to the pending list. Then you can delete those users and blacklist their ip. Cons of this is that a post …

Thanks for the suggestions, Matt. I will think on it - it all makes sense. In the meantime my temporary fix appears to have worked and I have stopped sending responses. Now I just need to figure out how to delete all these users and their messages until the spammers give up on me.. :wink: My own us…

Currently it responds with an email notification, generating tens of thousands of needless emails and triggering mailgun’s warnings. (I have no evidenc…
