[Solved] Temporarily closed signups because of spam signups (self.lemmyworld)

So some spam signups just happened (all [email protected] format e-mail) This caused bounced mail to increase, causing Mailgun to block our domain to prevent it getting blacklisted.

So:

  • Mail temporarily doesn't work
  • I closed signups for now
  • I will ban the spam accounts
  • I will check how to prevent (maybe approval required again?)

Stay tuned.

Edit: so apparently there is a captcha option which I now enabled. Let's see if this prevents spam. Registrations open again.

Edit2 : Hmm Mailgun isn't that fast in unblocking the domain. Closing signups again because validation mails aren't sent

Edit 3: I convinced Mailgun to lift the block. Signups open again.

Context // update :
About 30 post were looked in last 24h
None were locked before for 16 days No reason for any of these locks is given in modlog
Afterwords posts get unlocked when possible
The reason (I guess) was spam accounts
