Filtering out SPAM from your site

WARNING: We do not maintain the database source files.

Domains that you want to allow, should be added

Filtering at your site:
To filter spam at your site you need to:

spamsites.local and denyip.local. You may want to diff the new
versions of the files against the previous versions to see what
has changed.
Local deletions should be kept in separate files. We use
allowed_domain.txt and allowed_ips.txt. (This feature was added
after netcom.com was added to the spam block list.)
