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!
