I had in mind using something like your "ixitan" symbols on our website, as it would certainly reduce the spam bots. How do we get it? What would it cost? I'm reluctant to screen out all that appears to be spam as we wish to be able to communicate with folks in need -- but that may be wishful thinking. We don't know a whole lot about what we need, but we know what we don't need. Any help? We need help to reduce our spam.

I can tell you that I average about 10 sites a week blocked; usually that's one or two search bots (mostly from China) that ignore <code allow="none">robots.txt</code>, and the rest appear to be spam harvesting PCs, probably virus infested home PCs based on the their IP addresses.

A lot of bots are hardcoded to look for a formmail.cgi ; in the old days, I also had mine symlinked to guestboot.cgi . Glad it's now working.

Hrmm… there should only be two lines, that look something like this:

SetEnvIf Remote_Addr ^67.43.156.66$ denied
