annie Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) I was wondering, since you guys are so good at what you're doing, if you know how to track referrer spam on a virtual webhost server? From the perspective of support/technical personell, I mean? Scenario: I complained to another webhost that I was referrer spammed from their box. They initially tried to find the script responsible, but gave up and null-routed the IP to my server instead. That got me plenty hot under the collar, since I'm a spam fighter, and they're essentially giving the spammer carte blanche to continue spamming - forever! So since those guys apparently don't know what they're doing, I thought I'd open up the field and ask you guys, since you appear to be very capable, and run a very tight ship. You know, they asked me indignantly: "Do you keep logs of every outbound connection from your server?" EDIT: How would you monitor outbound connections, that came from any port, but connected to port 80 on a remote system?

TCH-Bruce Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The help desk would be a better place to get an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-JimE Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 As Bruce says, the best place to ask this is at the Support Desk. However, TCH does not tolerate spamming from its own hosted accounts. JimE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
