In reviewing my logs recently I noticed the robot EmailSiphon had been to my
site. I use Mhonarc to keep an HTML history and archive of one of my lists
and would prefer these Spammers not gather my addresses. In researching
alternatives, it looks like the best way to prevent robots like EmailSiphon
is to use Apache's deny command in the config file.
I believe the pertinent section (modified from Apache docs) would look
something like this:
BrowserMatch ^EmailSiphon go_away
<Directory /docroot>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from env=go_away
</Directory>
Is this the best solution or is there a better/easier way? Can I set this up
for multiple BrowserMatch lines and keep the one directory entry section
using the variable go_away?
Thanks for any input.
Harry
