indianets Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hello, Just witnessed a huge spam ticket opening chain, some of them going to-fro same conversations. Someone is sending spam to open (non-client) only depts of many hosts with our sales email in reply-to and same for them, this is creating a huge pile of tickets and bounces. Do we have a way to limit how frequently an unregistered email can open tickets? It seems this is the need of the hour. Vijay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I don't think there is such a rate limiter built-in. A ticketopen hook might work to then add the email address to the block list. This would need to have a tracking mechanism to determine how fast they are opening tickets and cron hook to then unblock after x amount of time. Is the tickets being opened via email or the client area ? If via email, on your side make sure your SPF record is correct and set to reject non-listed sources via the "-all" instead of "~all" which is a soft fail. On the other side, they would of course need to be checking SPF but most spam systems do that. If via the client area, a clientarea hook could do tracking via $_SESSION and block via like a redirect or a header 403 maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
