The best way to avoid this is to leverage the post queue. Sadly, spammers always find creative ways to bypass filters, but the post queue will stop them dead.

but it doesn't seem to work for V 0.5.2..
Can you be a bit more specific? We're usually quite good at diagnosing issues, not so good with Clairvoyance.
Required info, what have you tried? Any errors when running
./nodebb log
or./nodebb dev
?To take the ease of your server, I'd recommend looking into emailer-mandrill, as they give you a free 12,000 emails per month.

After I activate the plugin and click on Emailer (Local) from the intstalled plugins menu I get a 404:
"Not Found
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page."
No errors in the log, but there was this warning:
warn: [plugins/nodebb-plugin-emailer-local] "callbacked" deprecated as of 0.4x. Use asynchronous method instead for hook: filter:admin.header.build
./nodebb dev gave me this warning:
warn: Route requested but not found: /admin/plugins/emailer-smtp

I think that error means that you've installed the wrong emailer plugin. There are two, one works and one doesn't.
I think @psychobunny knows something about this.

So things have changed and now mandrill is shutting down. What emailer alternatives are there?
