Stopping bbspam mail

What happens

• You have installed Textual Confirmation for phpBB2
• You use the free community version of this tool
• Each time a spam registration is blocked, this version sends a notification to you and to the community database
• As phpBB2 is retired, the community database is also retired and switched off
• Your server can't send the report and notifies you about it
• You think that the emails are sent from bbspam.com

Who blame?

Ok, me. I should have planned the end of the product live in advance.

What to do?

Sorry, but I can do nothing. The mails are sent by a tool installed on your server using your mail server, without any connection to bbspam.com.

What can you do:

• Uninstall or disable Textual Confirmation
• Upgrade from the community edition to the business edition ($30)
• If you know PHP, edit the code and disable emailing functionality

Final words
