Installation Instructions
Step 1. Download MyOffice24x7 Spam Protector Library by clicking here.
Step 2. Shutdown your web server.
Step 3. Copy MyOffice24x7 Spam Protector Library to class path. Liferay portal users may place it in 'ROOT.war/WEB-INF/lib/' directory.
Step 4. On local filesystem, create spam list file, eg. 'spamlist.txt'. For Liferay portal installation we recommend to create it in the repository directory '${resource.repositories.root}/spam/spam-list.txt'. See 'spam-list.txt' example.
Step 5. Create HTML page that will be displayed to those visitors that are marked as spammers. See our spam page. This page' URL will be used to configure 'spam-redirect-url' parameter in web.xml file. Note for Liferay portal installations that run multiple virtual hosts(instances) : you need to create a separate spammer page for every instance, that your portal is running!
Step 6. Modify web.xml file to include MyOffice24x7 spam filter as specified below.
