I have a discussion board at www.occ-doc.net. I receive spam comment
postings containing ad links every day from "NY" with an IP address shown on
the discussion board of 195.239.141.98. However, when I check the web
traffic counters for lists of visitors to my site's index and posting pages,
I don't find that IP address in the visitor lists. And, I've modified my
..htaccess file to block that IP address. Are the postings actually coming
from that IP address, or do the "spam bots" (?) come from a source that has
no definable IP address that I can block? I'm looking for a solution that is
compatible with FrontPage and will allow blocking of spam comments to the
discussion board, short of removing the board or installing some type of
members-only login feature. It's a low-budget operation... just a guy w/a
web site, mostly a hobby.
