A way to keep spammers out of your blog
UPDATE: Turns out Cindy’s block is the one that works against the Bulgarians

# Other block
RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} ^1\.1\ symantec\ web\ security\ (2\.01\.060)
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]

The block below is for another spammer. Cindy hasn’t yet told me which one.
Cindy from Candygenious has figured out a way to block these spammers.
She captured some more data on them, and from that figured out how to block them.
Her solution is to block the particular proxy software they’re using.
Her solution is more elegant than mine, that’s kept my blog spam free, but my referrer logs full.
Remember that this will only stop spammers using that particular software. Other spammers will sail past the block.
