Over the past year, the forum has deteriorated to the point of being unusable. Today I installed (and fixed) a module that allows phorum to use spamassassin, and tweaked & trained spamassassin to deal with forum posts (no email headers, etc). Over the past few hours, I have seen spammers beat their heads against the spam filter, sometimes submitting the same message several times before giving up. I have also made a few test posts of my own to the forum. It looks like non-spam messages are let through. In short, the forum should be usable again. If something happens to break, please let me know and I will fix it. http://forum.kernelnewbies.org/ -- All rights reversed.
Thanks Rik! Will this also filter those pesky LinkedIn invites? :) -mandeep On Tue, Jun 11, 2013 at 8:52 AM, Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> wrote:
