The NEW central antispam blacklist

Posted by fplanque on May 12, 2006 in b2evolution.net

Thanks to Ed (Head of Central Antispam) and Ryan (New Host), we now have a brand new host for our central antispam list. It's a separate host from the main site, so we might get better performance on the one or the other if not both ;)

Because it's a new server, you will need to do some small modifications to your b2evo installation if you want to take advantage of it.

Pick your easiest solution:

Solution 1

You're not in a hurry: just wait for the next 0.9.2 [Update: available now] or 1.8-alpha release and you'll be fine.

Solution 2

You care a lot about antispam, but not so much about pinging b2evo when you publish a new post.

Just go into your /conf/_advanced.php file, and at the end of the file replace this line:

$evonetsrv_host = 'b2evolution.net';

with this line:

$evonetsrv_host = 'antispam.b2evolution.net';

Solution 3

You're running version 0.9.1 and you want it all:

Go the end of your /conf/_advanced.php file, and add the following lines:

$antispamsrv_host = 'antispam.b2evolution.net';
$antispamsrv_port = 80;
$antispamsrv_uri = '/evonetsrv/xmlrpc.php';

Note the $antispamsrv prefix. It is different from the existing $evonetsrv lines.

Download this file and use it to replace your existing /b2evocore/_functions_antispam.php file. (If you have trouble with downloading the PHP file, you can get this ZIPped file instead).

CVS

Note: CVS servers are not up to date right now because SourceForge has had them down for the whole week... stay tuned.

Update: 0.9.2 is now up to date on CVS (look for the v-0-9-1 branch).

Upcoming 0.9.2 release

Posted by fplanque on May 02, 2006 in New releases

Yes I know this is not the one you're expecting... :roll:

We will however release a 0.9 update in the upcoming days, mostly to include a few bug fixes, easy antispam tricks and some new locales (Basque eu-ES, Icelandic is-IS, Polish pl-PL, Estonian ee-ET, Russian ru-RU).

Also, I just need to get this one out in order to clear my head! ;)

By the way, if you have a 0.9.x language update sitting on your drive, please send it *now* ... or wait for Phoenix.

This will be the last 0.9.x release. After that one, it will be all 1.x aka Phoenix.

Update: version 0.9.2 is available now!

The centralized antispam backlist...

Posted by fplanque on May 02, 2006 in b2evolution.net

I had to take down the centralized antispam backlist because it's really eating up a lot of resources, thus slowing down the main site.

If you really rely on the centralized blacklist more than on your own spam defeating techniques (or on the new Phoenix techniques), I'd like to hear from you.

Also, in order to put the list back up, we could really really use someone willing to provide some server CPU & RAM to run something like antispam.b2evolution.net . It's mostly about processing SQL queries in memory. It's not that much about bandwidth or disk space. If you feel like giving it a try, please step forward ;) Thanks!

-François.

Update: we have a new server for the antispam blacklist.

W3C uses b2evolution :)

Posted by fplanque on Mar 27, 2006 in Community

I stumbled on it by accident, but I thought it was cool enough to mention:

the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group uses b2evolution! B)

Best of all, making the weeb more usable in the mobile arena is something I'm very interested in ;)

PHPBuilder has a really well done tutorial on setting up b2evolution.

This tutorial – written by Ian Gilfillan – will walk you through the installation and all the base features of b2evo, providing screenshots for each step.

Nice! :D
