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 order allow,deny allow from all deny from env=go_away 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.
