Bad Behaviour Behaves Badly
Posted by Jacques Chester on Thursday, December 6, 2007
As part of the multi-layered antispam measures in use here at Club Troppo, I installed a few months ago a program called “Bad Behaviour”. This program works against spam by examining requests made to the server for common spammer patterns, rather than (as our other tools do) examining the content of comments.
Today it decided to throw a wobbly and various people got 403 Forbidden messages. Apparently some Australian ISP has been added to a blacklist consulted by Bad Behaviour.
In any case I have deactivated it for now.
