Hello - just joined

Stopforumspam has been amazing for my forum, which has stopforumspam built into the software, and catches most of the spammers.  Occasionally the odd one gets through anyway and I come on here to check if they are spam (they usually are!).  I have often wanted to add one to report, so I have signed up for that purpose.

Spammers increased massively since mid December last year, so I had many to moderate that had been caught by the spam filter.  I'm now using Cloudflare Turnstile which has reduced the number of spammers to just the odd one every few days to moderate/delete.

However, a recent thing is spammers causing bounced activation emails by signing up with incorrect email addresses, triggering an activation email to be sent, which bounced.  Had a huge issue with going over email quota and had to change to a bigger email package and convert to SMTP.  I am still getting a few a week however (bounced emails) but it's manageable.

I'm considering some kind of email checker.
