I'm having problems installing this mod which is a shame as I've recently started to get spammers registering on my forum. I think the conflict is to do with having YaMMS 4 installed. If I install the distilled emails mod first then when I install YaMMS that plays up and vice versa. I've even narrowed it down to the profile.pl. When I've attempted to modify the code manually, it messes up people's profiles.

	$yymain .= qq~

<form 'sid'}" method="post" name="creator">

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" width="100%" align="center" class="bordercolor" border="0"> 

That's what it tells me to search for in step 9.

I have this code after the $yymain= qq~

<div class="bordercolor" style="padding: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; width: 100%;"> 

I've tried changing the order but that's when I ran into problems.

Any help is appreciated with this one.

Thank you for this mod.  With the new spammer methods i really needed to to save my board 

I put it in yesterday and have been getting some unusual error logs related to the mod.  Here is an example:

Untrapped Error:
Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/* <-- HERE @znahov.org/ at ./Sources/Profile.pl line 1097.

YaBB.pl?board=&action=profileContacts2

This one was generated by a member.  I accidentally banned his IP because I interpreted this as a spam bot because of the znahov.org.  This domain is banned in distiller and is a known spam domain.

Can you help me interpret this error?  I have had others:

Untrapped Error:
Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/* <-- HERE @*.info/ at ./Sources/Register.pl line 331.

YaBB.pl?board=&action=register2

Again...the *.info is banned in distiller and a known spam domain.  This is an unknown user.

Should I be ignoring these?  Perhaps my member has had his computer compromised?  Am I just getting too paranoid 

Thanks for any thoughts,
Tom

OK, I created the bug myself 

I had put @ in my blocked domain strings.  DOH!

After I removed them, all seems well now. 

*spambob.net

not

*@spambob.net 


Great mod.   8)

Hi all,

Great mod, I am having a lot of issues with spammers and fake members. One issue: I can't get the mod to work because I have issues with step 9, the needed string cannot be found in my profile.pl.

What can I do to fix this ? I have checked the Profile.pl, but I cannot exactly locate WHERE the string should be hiding.

Thanx people,

Jur

That's true.  Sometimes in order to find the search string anomalies, you just have to take a somewhat unique portion of the search string and look for that.  In your case, try searcing your Profile.pl for

<form action="$scripturl?action=profileContacts2;username=$INFO{'username'};si d=$INFO{'sid'}" method="post" name="creator">
 

If that comes up empty, try looking for just a portion of that search string.  The more you cut it down, the more likely you are to come up with multiple matches, so you have to use a bit of logical thinking to find the right portion that matches what the mod is looking for.
