A Good Spam Filter for ASP.NET?
-
Can anybody recommend me a good spam filter for ASP.NET? Is there something that I can send a string and would return me a percentage (the possibility of its being spam)? Do I need to have my dedicated server (or VPS) to run a spam filter? In other words is there something that works with shared hosting? Thank you for your suggestions ..

I doubt such a thing exists. Spam filtering and ASP.NET have nothing to do with each other. In any case, it's a war of attrition, you need to find a well supported project, or a commerical library that is constantly updated,.

But what about all those blogs and sites in ASP.NET? How do they handle spam?

Well, it's not an ASP.NET task, in that it's a general C# string parsing task. I guess they write something, or they have found a library for free or commercially. I am just saying, if it's free, be sure it gets updated often because those things would go out of date so fast....

I'm sorry, may be I didn't explain this right, actually I meant a spam filter that can be used with ASP.NET, this is what I meant. I think there must be something like that, I don't think every one who has a blog or site in ASP.NET has written their own spam filters. Besides some or probably the majority of those are not developers, so I don't think they wrote their own filters. Most probably they are using something like akismet which unfortunately not good for my scenario, there's also SpamAssassin but that doesn't work with ASP.NET (not completely sure but I have checked their website and there was nothing indicating it works with ASP.NET).

I guess you want something like CAPTCHA. In asp.net blogs and other things it is used for filtering SPAM so that we can block robots from spam.

Hi Ahsan, actually I already have a captcha in my app but I only use it on the registration page, I don't want to display a captcha every time a user adds a post, this is not really convenient.
