[snip] > I might have a solution. JD Bernstein's programs, specifically tcpserver. Apache also allows a simple accept/deny in httpd.conf that would also work and is obviously much easier to set up. The problem is that the IP addresses will continually change - I've seen the spam coming from dial-up servers. Blocking all those would then block legitimate users too which is obviously not what I want. Perhaps I should be creative and figure out to integrate spamassassin or something like it in the posting process...let sa determine if it's spam and reject it.
