Spam-X Ban Module

I created a little Spam-X action module that adds the IP of spammers to the Ban Plugin list thus blocking them from the site.

To use it just copy the code below and save it to a file called Ban.Action.class.php in your spam-x directory. Then add 256 to the Spam-x action variable.

This is aimed at those spammers who like to post hundreds of spams. The first will get caught and the rest of the attempts will result in a blank page.

require_once($_CONF['path'] . 'plugins/spamx/' . 'BaseCommand.class.php');

*/
class Ban extends BaseCommand {
/**

*/
function Ban()
{
global $num;

$num = 256;
}

function execute($comment)
{
global $reslut, $_TABLES;

$result = db_query('INSERT INTO ' . $_TABLES['ban'] . ' SET bantype="REMOTE_ADDR", data="' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . '"')
$result = 256;
SPAMX_log ('IP ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . ' added to ban list');
return 0;
}
}

Spam-X Ban Module

Hello,

when you say "add 256 to the Spam-x action variable.", I assume you mean to
find the following line in geeklog/plugins/spamx/config.php

// Default Spam-X Action
$_SPX_CONF['action'] = 128; // Default is ignore comment

And add 256. But I am insufficiently clueful to know what you mean by this.

Should the line read
$_SPX_CONF['action'] = 384; // Default is ignore comment
or
$_SPX_CONF['action'] = 128, 256; // Default is ignore comment

or what?

Thanks,

V.
