Hi,
IP Address validator and rejector.
I run free web based email service and desperately need a way to prevent autobots from joining, and anyone with IP addresses from unwanted IP strings, like from known hot spots like Nigeria or anything being relayed.
Not just a way to ban known scammers, but a way to block basically most addresses from outside the USA and or Europe. I have found I cannot afford to be open for the World. I just want the USA really, and maybe portions of Europe.
So, in affect, if a user with a know (or bett yet an unkown) IP address that my imaginary script recognizes has being suspicious tries to login or create an email account - a typical generic failed message will be the only thing he gets.
Also a simpel way to ban a known IP address from a known abuser of multiple accounts used for spamming from my email service.
The point is to control the bandwidth that I am wasting from brute entry attacks by autobots and scammers.
Help.
Also, maybe this can tie into purchases made, or purchases that are attempting to be made. But that is less important because Authorizenet has fraud screening and I wouldn't ship overseas anyway. It's the bandwidth drain autobots and scammers cost that I need to limit.
Suggestions is also greatly appreciated.
