Hi Nathan,

Not at all urgent but have you had any issues with using the api key for abuseipdb?

I'm using v1.3.1 keep getting a message saying my key is invalid. It's definitely correct, I've created new replacement keys but always get the same message.

Regards

Graham

@The Old Man how did you get on with this?

Question to people using this application - I've been asked the following:

  1. Is it possible to capture the content of the email and store it as a just in case - the answer is 'yes' but I'm wondering how many would actually want this, considering the idea of this was to originally stop the email from being sent.
  2. Is it possible to check if the provided email address is a valid email address? The answer is 'yes' but there are several sites/endpoints out there against which this can be checked...so what do people currently use (if they do) to manually check email addresses out?

No promises on the above items at all.

Hi there Nathan, sorry for the slow reply. No I couldn't get it to work (it refused to accept the api key is valid), but then I got sidetracked by an unexpected server move. Still finishing up on that but I will definitely take you up on the offer once I'm sorted if you do want to run some tests. I could also try it on a brand new 4.6 install I had just installed before getting sidetracked. Have you had the AIPDB working on your live site/s yourself?

Re the 2 options you mentioned, I don't feel they are particularly needed from my own personal perspective, for the reasons you mentioned. Storing spam instead blocking it, no thank you! Checking a valid email address, I don't think it's worthwhile, I think many spammers probably use temporary 'burner' addresses and hacked servers that may very well mean addresses are valid when an email is sent but it doesn't mean much. 
 

BTW, another positive of this plugin; my unexpected VPS container move resulted in the loss of domain filtering in WHM's email settings. No such problem there with your plugin, everything is still snug is my IPS database!

I wish we could edit Marketplace reviews, this plugin is far from being simple.

No thanks - I don't do "Try it somewhere else" until I've got information from the affected location first.

I have it chugging away on 2 sites.

Hi,

I just read my earlier comment and realised that this could be completely taken the wrong way. What I meant was in my review I'd described this as a simple plugin which didn't do it justice. There's now far more going on under the hood than at the time of my review (of the first release), it's also now an app, and because I can't edit my review, despite not being to give it more than the existing 5 stars, I can't add that it's even better now than it was with the new functionality!

Shame we can't edit Marketplace reviews or add a review of the current version.

All done and responded, thanks!

Great, thanks for letting me know.

Meanwhile the other features are working fine for me too.

Hi Nathan,

Suggestion: I've no idea if this is actually possible, but maybe add the brief privacy policy links to show automatically when the relevant options are enabled in the plugin to be included in:

Stop Forum Spam

That will be a 'no' from me.

The privacy policy is an editable field...so where do those items get placed? At the start? At the end?. 'But I want them to appear after the third paragraph of my existing content'

It's possible, but there are too many potentials here. Position, content, whether to include or not. By the time I opened up to start coding something to assist, you could have manually entered the content needed.

Hi,

Shame, IPS inserts the blurb for you automatically in the Third Parties section of the Privacy Policy if you enable the option in AdminCP. I don't know if it's extensible though.

In the interests of transparency:

  1. No further new features or bug fixes will be made available for this application while the IPS 4.5.x and IPS 4.6.x releases are supported by IPS.
  2. If & when a later version of the IPS suite is released, a new paid version of the application will be made available to support that version.

It has come to my attention that as a result of changing this from a 'Free' to a 'Paid' resource that anyone who wants to update to the new version will be required to purchase the application.

This was not my intention at all, and I was under the impression that it would only affect those obtaining it for the first time.

Please be aware that if you are running v1.4.1 then there is absolutely no requirement for you to upgrade - it is bug-free and will continue to work without the modifications I made with the release of v1.5.0, although the change of validator.pizza to mailcheck.ai may eventually result in that failing at a later point if they deprecate the old domain/API method.

If you do choose to purchase the application as a long-time user - thank you for doing so, and please keep suggestions for improvements coming if you have them.

Hi @Nathan Explosion I purchased the 1.4.1 version back on November 9, 2021 and it's showing as in need of an update, but when I go to the plugin page, my only option is to buy the plug-in again. Any ideas?

Edit: I didn't read! Just saw your post above explaining. Ignore me! Sorry.

I must have done something wrong. Nothing from the Contact Us form us coming through to me and nothing is being logged on the Tracker page. Anything I can do?

You could disable it, and then test if anything is coming through without it enabled and thus rule out the possibility of an email configuration issue on your side.

If you determine that you have an issue with the app as a result of the above then you provide more information for me to assist:

  1. Version of IPS (not 'the latest' but literally the version number)
  2. Same for this app
  3. Then screenshots of your settings
  4. Some details about version of PHP in use would help too (again, full version number)

Is the providing of the above information a confirmation that you've done the suggested test, and the result was that you could receive an email via the contact form?
