Behind the Scenes

My Battle with Spammers

First off, I apologize to anyone in Russsian Federation or the Ukraine who has tried to send me a comment using my “Contact Us ” form. I’ve had to ban the two countries completely. It was a pretty easy decision. I haven’t received any sales from either country yet my logs show an amazing level of attempted junk mail hi-jacking.

So, I’ve been battling the spammers. So far I have a list of 900+ ipaddresses (individual computers) that have tried to use my form mail to send out junk mail to me and others. I’ve never quite understood why anyone even bothers. I don’t know of anyone who clicks on these viagra links.

So if you have been banned, I apologize. Leave me a comment and I’ll let you back in.
