Hi Ed,

On Wednesday, November 27, 2002, 12:42 PM, you put forth, in part, about "[OT] 
Guestbook spamming":

E> Apache also allows a simple accept/deny in httpd.conf that would also
E> work and is obviously much easier to set up.  The problem is that the
E> IP addresses will continually change - I've seen the spam coming from
E> dial-up servers.

Yes, dial-ups are always a problem.  For me, tcpserver is the way to go,
as it is already up and running for other mail, DNS services, and also
hassle free FTP services to a few people.

E>   Blocking all those would then block legitimate users
E> too which is obviously not what I want.

E> Perhaps I should be creative and figure out to integrate spamassassin
E> or something like it in the posting process...let sa determine if it's
E> spam and reject it.  Could be an interesting hook...

Now *that* sounds very interesting ... good concept (unless you get
inundated with hits), even SA running as daemon would slow things down I
thing. I like it though.

 Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.
