Hi I am using emule and i am getting spam messages from other ppl about dl this and dl that mod or something.
Is annoying so how can i block this crap?

thx

Go to your options menu in emule then hit the security tab.
There you'll find the option to filter messages.
Here's a bit of mine for example:

Your client has an infinite queue|Your client is connecting too fast|fastest download speed|disrael|zambor|zambor 2|FXeMule

Works for me so far

Cheers

(P.s. Put the names of the "spammers" between the seperators but that's obvious i guess)

thx just copy & paste it will add later anything else required

i used to get them a lot from those bastards!
No troubles now

Does anyone know if these clients actually get banned or are the message just getting filtered out?

I wonder why the incoming messages aren't parsed and the leeches banned. Its pretty obvious zmbor and FX are abusive clients...

As far as i know the messages just get filtered out.

I just stumbled upon this on emule project.

It seems that in 0.47a:
- Clients which send filtered messages will now also be identified as spammers
- Clients which were identified as spammers will now be banned instead of only ignoring their messages

So it seems that now they really are going to be banned

Cheers

its about time!

Cheers for the filtering info. I wasn't getting bombarded by them quite that badly, but I'm sure it'll save a bit of irritation
