Antispam
Spam in comments and trackbacks went from an anecdotic issue to a massive problem. Nowadays, it is mandatory to have a set of filters to check if a comment is potentially a junk or not. This is the purpose of the Antispam plugin.
- Information
- The Junk comments link will take you to a list of all the junk comments (you will be able to run batch actions on junk comments in this page).
- The Published comments link will take you to a list of all published comments (you will be able to run batch actions in this page).
- The Delete all spams button will remove all spam messages at once.
- Available spam filters
- By default, Dotclear comes with 6 filters, including 2 deactivated filters. You can add more later on.
- Order: Filters are applied from top to bottom. You can modify the filters order. Note that some default filters (IP Lookup, Links Lookup and Akismet) require access to the Netowrk and therefore can take some time. It is better to leave them towards the end of the list. In addition, the IP Filter filter decides which messages are not spam, so it's better to leave it at the top of the list.
- Active: Check the box to activate a filter, uncheck it to deactivate it.
- Auto Del.: If this box is checked, the messages considered as junk by this filter will be automatically deleted without any chance to make sure it was not a false positive.
- Filter configuration: Some filters can (and, in some cases, must) be configured to be efficient. Click on this icon to access the configuration page of the filter.
