Something useful – SpamHaus DROP list.

In short, a list with networks that are either hijacked or are used ONLY by spammers. The traffic for such networks can only be dropped.

I did the experiment on marla and on a company machine and found some forum spammers :) Here’s a fun pick from the user-agents for a few days:

xxxx:/var/log/apache# grep 85.255.120.58 site1/access_log |cut -d " -f 6|sort|uniq

I’ll put this filter on a few places, should help with slimming down the spam.
