From Spamhaus: Ref: SBL48749 213.42.21.77/32 is listed on the Spamhaus Block List (SBL) 04-Dec-2006 22:16 GMT | SR08 form/blog spam source 213.42.21.77 is a massive source of form/blog spam sent via http. Part of this form spam is converted into mail spam getting into the mailboxes of web site administrators and contact addresses. Likely an open http proxy. |

| 506953 | 2006-12-20 02:04:00 | The only way to "prevent Guestbook being spammed" is the simple one. Don't have a Guestbook. :D Or else have a web site ona host which isn't connected to the Internet. :thumbs: PressF1 requires registration before anything can be posted. PressF1 fairly often gets postings from determined spammers. That makes unnecessary work for the moderators, and I doubt if it gets any sales for the perpetrators. |
