Make up of the spammer scripts
We’ve been talking about blocking spammers in .htaccess before.
And so with that in mind I went through the results of a tracking script. Most of the referrer spammers have gone clear of that, by not spamming to individual posts in my blog. In fact, most spam the root of my site instead. But of those I caught, here’s a rundown:
One spammer didn’t have any identifying marks that could be blocked.
But dvdsqueeze, which is a regular in my log, can be blocked with this line (not completely sure of the syntax, but it’s something like this):
RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} ^.+mesa1
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]
The whole via line is like this:
1.0 wc03.inet.mesa1.secureserver.net:3128 (squid/2.5.stable6)
