For administrators of open-source Bugzilla instances, spam is a persistent headache. Malicious actors often automate the creation of fake accounts and junk tickets. The Spam Protection (SpamPro) capabilities in Bugzilla are essential for maintaining a clean tracker.
Here is how to configure and use these tools like a pro.
If your project is plagued by spam comments but you don't want to close the bug report entirely, Bugzilla allows you to make specific comments private.
Telegram’s Terms of Service explicitly prohibit:
Accounts caught using BZ Spam Pro are permanently banned, and associated IP addresses may be blocked.
BZ Spam Pro is an anti-spam tool (or service) aimed at reducing unwanted messages across email and messaging platforms. Whether you manage a small business inbox, run a community forum, or handle customer support, spam wastes time, clogs systems, and can introduce phishing and malware risks. This post explains what BZ Spam Pro does, how it works, who benefits, and practical tips for getting the most from it.
The operator inputs invite links to popular public Telegram groups (e.g., crypto discussion groups, job search channels, adult content communities). BZ Spam Pro uses Telegram’s contacts.getContacts or channels.getParticipants API methods (or reverse-engineered MTProto protocol calls) to pull member public IDs and usernames.
These usernames and unique numerical IDs (user_id) are stored in an internal SQLite database. A single scraping session can harvest 100,000+ user IDs in hours.
The operator composes a message (e.g., "Hey, check out this crypto signal group! t.me/xxx") and sets parameters:
BZ Spam Pro then connects to Telegram’s data centers (149.154.167.50-149.154.167.99), iterates through the scraped user list, and dispatches messages. The software tracks which users have been messaged to avoid duplicates.
Using BZ Spam Pro can expose individuals to civil and criminal liability under:
