Spam Attacks? Here is my blacklist
I noticed that a lot of weblogs in the community are getting spammed today. I went through the same attack about a week ago (1200 spams in 24 hours). I use MT-Blacklist to protect against spam and it works pretty well.
So, in order to help everyone getting spammed today, I am publishing my weblog's black list. If you are using MT Blacklist, you can add them to your system in the MT Blacklist admin.
This list will automatically be updated as I add new URLs to it. Also, it is possible that there are some false positives in the list. If so, just let me know about them, and I will check them out.
One note, the current version of MT Blacklist does not work with the latest version of Movable Type (2.66). A new version of MT Blacklist should be out soon that fixes the issues.

Dear Mike (and Scott), I noticed that Mario Klingermann's site, quasimondo-dot-com (I was prevented from sending this comment in because I typed it literally!), is on your lists. This has to be a false positive! Mario is a sharp guy and he posts a lot of good info. -jonathan

Mike, I noticed you have a lot of entries that could more easily be handled by a simple regex pattern (e.g., all the black foxes stuff). If you use a regex, you're going to catch future spam as well as current spam. I give an example of blocking subdomains here: http://www.corfield.org/blog/past/2004_01.html#000269

p.s. my blacklist is here (with a bunch of subdomain regex blockers): http://www.corfield.org/blacklist.txt

mike chambersSean, Thanks. Yeah, it could be vastly simplified with regex. The URLs were added automatically though by MT Blacklist, so I don't really spend too much time on it. mike c

Cesar TardaguilaHey! I'm also in some of the blacklists. Maybe my blog is not too good, but... Please, check it. The url is design-nation-dot-net

Mike: I think that the d d.i t in your list should be handled with a regex patern. If I try something like: "and then I add + it..." I'll be banned.

Thanks, Mike!
