6451 spam poll

Wow, got a load of comment-spam from 216.79.8.162 (zyrtec.ihc-services.com hosted via bellsouth) overnight... this is why I screen anonymous posts. (I haven't had to screen all "non-friends" yet.) Subject line was "hi", body was a collection of about 35 hyperlinks for assorted drugs. This is the downside of being so heavily indexed.

They were reported to abuse@bellsouth.net with IP address, time/date, message header, and attack logs, but I don't expect much to happen.

[Poll #245145]


I get about 10-15 a day that make it through my filters... my bulk mail folder catches about another 30-50, usually.

My mostly-unused hotmail account (only to register on websites or the like) gets about another 30 a day.Site Meter

Yeah, I'm sure you're right, it's just funnier to picture some guy running a drug website getting the idea to send a bot to comment in blogs or whatever, rubbing his hands together going, "I'LL BE RICH! RICH I TELL YOU!!!"
