#4 Re: Question: Preventing Apache referer spam? Posted by analogue (82.227.xx.xx) on Mon 29 Aug 2005 at 18:28 As I previously posted as anonymous, I suspect my comment to have been moderated. I have a 15k+ list of spammed referrers at the bottom of http://www.glop.org/referrers/ You can rip it and use this list to start something about spam referrers. A good start is also to filter out all the referrers coming from client with an empty user-agent string, They are spam 99% of the time. I also have a list of IP sending those referrers but I don't feel like spreading it as it will put some legit clients on the side =(
