CleanTalk CleanTalk is a SaaS spam protection service for websites. CleanTalk uses protection methods which are invisible for site visitors. CleanTalk analyzes user behavior and evaluates the parameters of a completed form. When installed on your site the anti-spam module captures the behavior parameters of the visitor or spam bot. These parameters are assessed and the service makes a decision - to post a message or to define it as spam and reject. On the basis of such checks, the service forms its own list of IP/email addresses used by spam bots. Likewise the visitor registrations are checked. The service adds not only email addresses to the blacklist but also IP addresses and domains of the websites that are promoted through spam mailout.
