mod_defensible -------------- « Together, we can win against spammers! » « Oh, you made a rime! » mod_defensible is Apache 2.x module aiming to forbid IP listed in DNSBL. It will do DNS lookups to DNSBL you want and will return a 403 Forbidden error code to the client. You can use './configure --with-udns` to enable udns (http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/udns.html) usage, which should be faster. Configuration example: DnsblUse On DnsblServers bsb.spamlookup.net bl.blbl.org opm.blitzed.org sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org If compiled with udns support, you can use a special nameserver with: DnsblNameserver 127.0.0.1 But why mod_defensible? Because: ^ ^^ ^^ d ns bl
