As part of a larger research university campus, we don't really have a
single firewall that can be used to stop incoming requests. That's why
we're hoping to use the tools within Roller to help us out.
I am finding the Spam Prevention blacklist to work effectively for
comments, but it doesn't seem to keeping the hits from referrers with
blacklisted terms out of our Apache logs. Anyone know if it's possible
for Roller to do that without implementing a solution at the
firewall/server level?
As many of the templates show the day's top referrers, this becomes a
bigger issue.
thanks!

I actually recommend stopping it at the firewall. It got hit with a
ton of referrer spam and I wound up blocking most of it before it hit
the app.

Anybody have any especially good suggestions for preventing referrer
spam? We're on Roller 2.1 and have seen a sudden influx of referrer spam
in our logs from porn sites.
I've seen the Spam Prevention box under Site Administration, but
couldn't find any hints on Google or the User Guide about how to use the
regex features - does it work exactly like regex in Perl (I'm forever
having to add backslashes to use regex within Java)? Will it work to
prevent referrer spam from specific domains, as well as for individual
terms within URLs?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
