pump.io can optionally use a spam filter server that supports the ActivitySpam API. The main public one is Spamicity Info, which is the one run by E14N. Since it's been trained with all the status.net and identi.ca spam, it has a pretty good corpus of data and will give pretty reasonable results.

  • Go to https://spamicity.info/ and sign up.

  • On the apps page, click "Add" to add a new app. ** The only data item that matters is the hostname, but you should probably fill in all three.

  • On the apps page, you should see a table including your new app. Note the consumer key and secret values.

  • In your /etc/pump.io.json file, add the following settings:

    "spamhost": "https://spamicity.info", "spamclientid": "[consumer key]", "spamclientsecret": "[secret]"

Also, if you are running a pump just for yourself, your company, or your friends, disable new registrations. This will do most of the work of keeping your pump spam-free.
