The Anti-spam extension is a client-side application for a commercial cloud anti-spam service, cleantalk.org.

The extension does not make use of CAPTCHAs.

The CleanTalk service costs money. The third-party server records all filtered comments, registration and other MediaWiki log entries in a "Log of spam attacks" for up to 45 days.

CleanTalk has got an option named "Spam FireWall", this option allows blocking IP addresses that have been used by spammers in the past.

Real-Time Email Address Existence Validation

To validate that users sign up with their real email address, the CleanTalk server will perform e-mail account existence checks via SMTP.

Private blacklists

The extension allows blocking or whitelisting e-mails for registration using wildcards, for example "*@mail.com" will block/allow every address ending on @mail.com.

Blocking users by country

The external service can be used to automatically block comments and registrations from specific countries.

Word blacklist

Comments that contain specific words can be forbidden.
