Does not prevent (Spam) Registration

Hi.

did you make yourself comfortable with the options explicit and analysis mode?
If spam is passing, it isn’t checked at all.

Therefore you can switch on the analysis mode, submit the registration, that is causing the spam and watch the resulting message in the inbox ?Analytic Box“. If you open the message here, you can enhance the scope for the spam check for this type of submission. If it is an Ajax-type of submission, you just need to push the respective button. If not, next to the parameters of the message will appear checkboxes. Click them to create a pattern that is specific for this type of submission. Usually you try to keep it as small as possible, and do not include, any content related fields but instead technical fields from the form. Finally you can save the pattern in order to enhance the scope.

Usually I recommend to run the plugin in explicit mode. Which means, that only submissions are considered that have been agreed this way.

if you don’t know what to do, just write me a mail via my website and we can make a short Teams call.

Cheers ,

Matthias

I’ve should red more carefully. To be quite honest, I am not sure, whether I’ve fully understood your problem. You write:

I receive a mass of spam registations in our WooCommerce-Shop. Your plugin regognize them but recognize also regular registrations.

How does this appear? Is it , that both types spam and clean, are blocked? If yes, do you have disabled simulation mode?

My problems are the unwanted sending of the confirmation mails. The result of that are lockouts on google and listings on spamhaus.org.

If everything is blocked this should not happen. But may still happen, if the mailing is initiated from a separate call from the frontend, in this case, my the guide in the first response may help you to record the respective and add it to the scope.

For WooCommerce I am using the following pattern at “Apply on pattern”:

{“email”:null,”woocommerce-register-nonce”:null,”register”:null}

… But still the better way would be, if you created your own pattern as describe in my first answer.

The offer with a call still holds ??

As it keeps calm here, I believe this issue is closed. If you still need halp, just give me notice.
