    Hi newsletter plugin team,

    I've a wordpress site using newsletter plugin. this plugin send confirmation email to every email submitted via newsletter subscription page. However this feature exploited by bot. The bot subscribe using fake email address such as nester0w@bk.ru, novoselov1989@mail.ru, etc. So every confirmation email is bounced and the server marked as spammer. Eventually, it takes down the email server. As a quick fix, I currently disabled this plugin. Is there any help from this plugin's developer to solve this problem? Thanks

    Hi, use the security panel to block specific domain and activate other spam subscription protections.

    Stefano.
