Rock. Suck it, spammers.

After a few hours of running the anti-spam setup described in the previous post, the proxy logs go something like this:

... and the server logs go something like this (of course, 192.168 IP is my testing, and real emails are munged):

[Sat Feb  5 11:21:01 2005] spam False from Kyle/kyle@example.org/24.236.224.237: score 0.0 (limit 5.0)

[Sat Feb  5 19:53:37 2005] spam True from jg/bob@net.com/66.227.166.171: score 8.4 (limit 5.0)

After running through my DB of comments, I find two or three that have a score high enough to be moderated (but not outright blocked.) I think they hit on the comment author's email ending in a number.

All in all, I'd just like to say... suck it, spamtards.

This is great news. You should write up the definitive guide about blocking comment spam so that I can link to it!
