With Inbound Now forms, how could we filter out certain email domains and just drop them instead of having them be sent. For example, we’re having a problem with .ru If we could just say do not send anything with .ru domain, it would be so useful and easy. We’ve taken all suggested spam measures and .ru just keeps coming.
Do you know how we could do a simple filtering out? I’m pretty good with Ruby on Rails and doing this is beyond easy with RoR…. but I just don’t know where to look with hosted WordPress and plugins.
I’ve attached a screenshot so you can see an example of what is getting through.
thanks!
Hi for some reason the screenshot did not come through. It’s been happening a lot for first time posters. Maybe give it one more go.
I think there is something we can do via adding custom PHP code to your WordPress theme’s functions.php. Please try adding this code and then running a test.
/* Checks if email is from .ru * * @param lead_data ARRAY * * @return BOOL true for spam and false for spam * */ add_action( 'inbound_check_if_spam', 'inbound_pro_filter_ru' , 20, 2 ); function inbound_pro_filter_ru( $is_spam, $lead_data ) { $blacklist= array('.ru'); $email_address = (isset($lead_data['wpleads_email_address'])) ? $lead_data['wpleads_email_address'] : ''; /* check if domain is in array */ foreach ($blacklist as $string) { /* is spam */ if (stristr( $email_address, $string )) { return true; } } /* is not spam */ return $is_spam; }Hudson – thank you, the code is working nicely and I’ve learned some useful things!
Awesome. Thanks for the confirmation!
