Topic: dnsbl for apache?

[dennyhalim]

hi all.

is there anyway i can blacklisting some spammers from accessing all my
website?
perhaps by putting something into htaccess or some other way??

cause, now spammers do not only spamming mail.
they now also spamming guestbooks, wiki, forums, shoutbox, blog
comments, etc... etc...

or, at least, let them only read my web (allow HTTP GET?)
and cannot post anything to any of my forum/guestbook/etc... (deny HTTP POST?)

Go to bugzilla and add you suggestion as a New Feature Request (NFR).
The developers will consider it on it's merits.
As the rules you are suggesting appear to relate to specific applications, then it may be out of the scope of sme server.

The firewall is fully configurable from the command prompt, you can make changes to custom templates.

The most obvious way to stop rubbish appearing on your web sites, forums etc, is to require users to login.
