[users@httpd] Spambots
Hi all,
I am being hit with a number of spam bots (email address harvesters) and have implimeted some deny referrers ruls as a short term fix.
Does anyone know of any permanent long term fixes?

Mark,
I take it from your reply that the only reliable way right now is to keep
using the referrers deny method then?

I have visited a few lists that help make up my current spam bot deny list.
Can anyone reccomend a list thats reliably well written and
up -to-date/updated frequently?

I'm not sure what you mean by "long term fixes". There are various
sites out there that have lists of nasty robots. There are also ways
to hide addresses on your site from robots using images/captchas/etc
(although I don't really recommend that).
