[Screenshot 2025-01-21 02-30-45] [Screenshot 2025-01-21 02-33-03] For the past few days, bots have been signing up to my site. All have email addresses that are just numbers, and are signing up from the /membership page. Two of them came from the same tmomail domain, and the third is a MetroPCS …

Hi everyone, There has indeed been an increase in spam signups across multiple Ghost sites originating from email domains like tmomail.net and txt.bell.ca. These domains serve as email-to-SMS/MMS gateways, converting emails into SMS or MMS messages delivered to phone numbers. To address this, we’…

Might be worth having a look here: [image] Ghost sign up and spam? Using Ghost Hey, I am self hosting Ghost and also my email with mailcow. The last couple of days I got a couple of weird sign ups: [Screenshot 2025-01-20 at 22.28.00] And my mail server is going crazy…

Yes, same here on some of my client’s sites.The new blocklist is excellent. I plugged in chatGPT to verify the e-mail of new users, and integrated with Make. If the e-mail is classified as spam, the user is deleted. Here’s the prompt, it returns a JSON with SPAM or VALID. Analyze the provided ema…

This doesn’t seem to be working. I keep getting signups on my Pro hosted site. How do admins add domains to this block list when it is working? I don’t see an interface in Ghost (Pro) for that. Just got another one as I am writing this. [Screenshot 2025-01-24 at 8.40.19 AM]

I have a self hosted version, did the config suggestion and I am still getting sign up bots. Same domain as last post txt.att.net The spam filter is not working on this domain it seems…

I just saw one for txt.att.net also, for a Magic Pages customer. (He apparently left my account live, so I’m getting his sign-up spam! Oops.)

I’m now getting replies from these subscribers using the word STOP in the reply wanting to opt-out. For Ghost Pro users, what’s the best way to add domains to the block list as they pop up?

Just got another one. I’d really like to be able to stop this. I have sent mail to support. Blocking all signup attempts with email addresses who’s handle is a ten digit string would be great. I honestly don’t care if this prevents signups from “legitimate” humans that have such an email address. […

Same here, I’ve had the odd one or two in recent weeks, but there’s been a sudden influx over the last few days. Mainly from txt.att.net .
