UPDATE !
Adding the Patch from Christoph doesn’t also take any effect, Spambots with .ru-Domains are not blocked. Seems that it’s the only solution to deactivate the Newsletter Plugin :-/
Very sad that there is no Support from the Develloper-Team !

The Update 5.2.8 doesn’t take an effect, Russian Spambots can subscribe anyway. Trying the Solution of Christoph now…

[DJDaniel]

There is a new Version (5.2.8) today

So I tried to register to the Newsletter with a fictive “mail.ru” adress and the adress was registered in the database of my Newsletter-Plugin so it seems, that the patch won’t work.

Thanks for helping, in fact I had to replace the <‘> by <‘>
Now I’m curious if it works

I added this into the subscription.php

// begin patch for mail.ru
$email_contains_ru = strpos($email, “mail.ru”); // outputs greater 0 if found
if ($email_contains_ru > “0”) {
$this->logger->info(‘Subscription of “mail.ru” – address blocked: ‘ . $email);
die();
}
// end patch for mail.ru

It doesn’t work, trying to reactivate the Newsletter Plugin I got the followig Error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘of’ (T_STRING) in /homepages/…./wp-content/plugins/newsletter/subscription/subscription.php on line 399

Line 399 Contains $this->logger->info(‘Subscription of “mail.ru” – address blocked: ‘ . $email);

Same with me, no chance to get rid of these russian Spammers, so I deactivated the Plugin…very sad 🙁
Hope there will be a solution soon, as I’d really like to use it again !
