How Did This Forum Spammer (sagepowder) Do This
Jan 7, 2007
I just found posts every a few days from an apparent spammer "sagepowder" in my forum (not so popular and has nothing to do with skiing). The subject is always "new here".
The content is "Any snowboarders or skiiers on this forum? I am planning a trip to BC on a snowboarding trip next week" or "I am new here, just saying hello".
I checked the apache log and it doesn't seem to be a robot script posting this. i.e. it browses to the index page, picked up my hidden field that blocks robots, post new topic, the go back to index page.
What surprised me is that when I google this guy, I got 108,000 results with the same content on tons of forums! All with total post number of 1 or 2 on each forum:
[url]
How did he do this? How to block this?

I have recently been receiving reports from AOL's feedback loop that my server is sending out spam. I have checked the whole server, but cannot find anything strange.
There are some strange things with these feedback reports. I'll post a few lines below (i crossed out my domain with xxx):
Quote:
Received: from andersenreesel by holderem.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
Received: (qmail 64859 invoked by uid 24901)
Received: from janislanhami by xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.26)
Received: (qmail 43829 invoked by uid 147); 08 Apr 2009 21:22:39 -0000
Received: from raphaelpinkertone by standei.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
Received: from imanoldelphine by dispatched.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
Received: from conrado by hostic.xxx.biz with local (Exim 4.23)
The first issue i have is with the subdomains, like "dispatched", "standei", "hostic", etc. These subdomains do not exist on my system. Also, my server does not run the exim MTA.
Another issue i have is the "invoked by uid" statements with uid's 147 and 24901. These UID's do not exist on my system. The passwd file uid's go to around 110.
Apart from these strange things, the IP that is listed in the upper part of the headers:
Quote:
Received: from xxx.biz (xxx.biz [85.xxx.xxx.xxx])
The domain and IP address is correct there, which should indicate that the spam was sent from my system. Or wasn't it?

I host a vBulletin forum on a US server. I've been getting a lot of signups from one particular spammer, wanting to post about gold harvesting for WoW. I've blocked his IP's, however he keeps using proxies.
He constantly signs up under the name "Array"... Is there a way I can block him for good? I can't moderate user sign-ups, as I'm mostly away from my computer and can't moderate them all the time.

I just setup my own LAMP server.
It is only used for my own domains so I want to be able to watch all mail that gets sent from my server, via php or otherwise.
Basically I just want to be able to personally monitor what mail is getting sent from my server so that I can watch for possible spammer activity.
I am using postfix and webmin.. I have sendmail installed to, but I don't think it is getting used..
I guess theres got to be a log somwhere... but I am not sure where it is?
I have postfix set to CC me of all mail that gets sent but, it doesnt seem to work all the time.. just for certain things..

Now first I will say I have NO idea how such spamming works, how a punk can get on my server and sent emails out.
I have had a team to look at it they also did something, but now it happens again for the 5th time, what can i do, are there any software or tools one can use like a antivirus to check the server and how can I avoid such sh..

I recently moved web services for one of my hosted domains (let's call it example.com) from one server (let's call it .org) to another server (let's call it .net) example.com has been on .org for about 5 years. .org handled all example.com web services, and all email. I recently updated example.com's DNS record to point www.example.com and example.com to the .net server. I didn't change the MX record or mail.example.com to point to .net. Mail continues to be delivered normally to example.com on the .org server.
Except now spammers are hitting the .net server, e.g.
Sep 26 09:26:03 host postfix/smtpd[15098]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[12.171.150.130]: 554 5.7.1 <AutumnvagaryMontano@example.com>: Relay access denied; from=<> to=AutumnvagaryMontano@example.com proto=SMTP helo=<mdgen-print.marylandgeneral.org>
Is it normal practice for spammers to send dictionary attack based spam to a domain's server that doesn't even handle email? All the spam coming is clearly just random email addresses not based on anything that exsists at the domain, and most of the addresses are so very random I can't imagine they exsist anywhere.

For about a month or so now I have a domain I host under serious attack from what I think are spammers. It's a wordpress site, and they are getting big numbers of POST requests to the WordPress comments file, e.g.
Code:
POST /wp-comments-post.php HTTP/1.1
It's a well distributed attack, and I'm doing well with some scripts I wrote to block the requests to the wp-comments-post.php file. The real comment file has long since been moved, so any POST to the file gets firewalled. It's several thousand IPs from all over the place.
I don't believe it's a malicious attempt to bring the site down, but I'm guessing it's a blog comment spammer that has something set wrong and he's pounding this site to death by accident. I could be wrong on that though.
Anyone have any good defense scripts to share?

So at the moment something is spam on this server, but i can't find out who is it.

[Code].....
The header is meaning that the spams come from root@, but there is no account with the name root@...
On linux it is so easy to find the spam with qmail or postfix. Why mailenable it is so difficult

I own a smf forum with usually 100-150 online users and sometimes it reaches 600-1000. My hosting refuses to host my forum anymore cause there is heavy cpu usage on their server.
So I want to ask you if there is any share web hosting provider that can host my forum with a reasonable prise.

My site has outgrown my current host and I'm strongly leaning towards a vps. I am relatively inexperienced with web hosting as for the last 18 months I've had very few issues with my current host (Stream101.com). They are currently saying my site is very memory and processor intensive which is why I'm going to have to leave them soon(I can't pay the dedicated server prices that would give my site the stability I desire).
About my site:
My site has 18,000+ users, its about 18 months old. 5,632 threads, 78,967 posts. It used about 150gig of bandwidth last month. The site is growing quickly (IMO). The site makes some money, but not enough to justify spending what it would cost for a dedicated server.
I'm happy to provide any other information, but what I am looking for is suggestions on:
1) Is a VPS the right choice for my site in your opinion.
2) What hosting company's would you suggest I look into.
3) How much ram/processor speed should I be looking for
4) any other information you feel I should know about this.

Our forum is under attack...and our host won't do anything except tell us that our load is too high and that they might turn off our account.
But, we've already turned off the forum...the only load is a note that says it's down for maintenance...no database...no html...nothing.
In a very short amount of time it has has over 300,000 page requests for the same three pages.
Is there anything on my side (since I don't run the server) that I can do to stop this or prevent it...etc?

I want to host a invision forum. I have a lot of exp admining and modding but I have never run one myself.
I plan on using 15-30 gigs of material on site and the rest will be offsite storage.
I do not know how many members I will have it could be just a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand.
My question. I was planning on going with WiredTree because of all the great reiviews out there. And buying thier vps512 which has 60 gigs of storage and 800 monthly bandwith.
Will that be enough do you think? More, less? I would like to stay within 50-100 dollars. since I am mainly running this for recreation and not looking to make a profit.
I have never hosted a website or such before, but after reading here and doing research I do not really want a shared server.

After several stressful hours of reading these forums I have finally decided to post my own question. I have lurked and read here for months and picked my own reseller hosting after reading up on here.
I have a client with a problem with her SMF forum...
She set it up 6 months ago and needs to upgrade her hosting. Her current host is Ausweb and she has been suspended for abuse.
The scenario I need help with is SMF forum v.1.1.5
Traffic per month: 11-15 gbs
Hits per month: 10,000
Storage: 1084.8/2000 MB
Members: >200
She has been suspended 3 times last month, charged apparently for an upgrade and has forked out almost $1500 for 12 months from April, which I calculate to be $125 per month for 12 months... which should be a dedicated server!
Does she need a dedicated server?
Would a VPS suffice?
If she does.. who is economical as at this point it is non profit site although we are looking at changing that, through advertising.
What is the best scenario with the least added expense for this disillusioned forum owner who has a successful site but has had a horrendous experience with hosting?

I've got my new hosting provider choice narrowed down to two providers (ServIt & WiredTree) for a Managed VPS. From the reviews here they both seem to be very similiar in customer support and reliability. The only difference I have found is that ServIt does have a community forum and WiredTree does not have a forum. It's wierd to be choosing a hosting provider based on this, so I thought I would come get your opinions on this.

I am trying to create a phpbb3 forum that can hold like 100 members. I am looking for hosting that will support my forum, is a decent price, and if I don't have to lock in any months thats an added bonus.

We're setting up a vBulletin forum, and I'd like to know what we'll need from a vps. We expect 5000-10000 hits a day, maybe 30-60 users on at a time, and we'd like to keep quick load speeds.
So how much ram would we need to achieve fast speeds?
How many mysql database might we need (just roughly for such a sized forum)?
How much bandwidth will we need?
Plus any other info you can give!
I could also do with some VPS hosting recommendations. We'll be adding other sites (with less traffic) in the VERY near future, so we'd like them to be accomodated. A host with good support/ response time is a must, and one with excellent uptime to!

What kind of webhost will I need for phpBB forum?
Here are the requirements :
A webserver or web hosting account running on any major Operating System with support for PHP
A SQL database system, one of:
FireBird 2.0 or above
MySQL 3.23 or above
MS SQL Server 2000 or above (directly or via ODBC)
Oracle
PostgreSQL 7.x or above
SQLite
PHP 4.3.3 or above with support for the database you intend to use. The optional presence of the following modules within PHP will provide access to additional features, but they are not required.
zlib Compression support
Remote FTP support
XML support
Imagemagick support
Of course free hosts are preferred, but nothing too expensive will do fine aswell. n_n
