Install OpenMage spam protection
The integration for OpenMage spam protection is freely available here: download the OpenMage Integration.
Here’s a quick note from the developer about the built integration:
- Support for OpenMage versions with PHP ^8.1
- Implement client class for facilitating communications with the API that can use GET / POST (Form) | POST (JSON)
- Separate concerns in reusable classes for each endpoint
- Minor optimizations for properly fetching the key
- Add customer attribute to mark customers as legitimate or spam users for easier cleanup
- Add cron job to automate checking customers. Subject to change if better endpoint is found as it gives a lot of false positives.
Feel free to use the solution. Don’t leave spam a chance!
