I use a the Project Honey Pot IP blacklist and the SURBL URL blacklist which catches around 85% of the post spam I see. The rest is caught by a moderation queue for first post which contains a URL from a new user. http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_api.php http://www.surbl.org/ (ja.net has a 'local' mirror of surbl - http://www.ja.net/services/mail/janet-rbl/surbls.html) -- Chris Jones, SUCS Admin http://sucs.org _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
