Okay, This Is New

Just got notification of a trackback ping that is spam. Problem is, it is not showing up in the most recent pings nor can I find the post cited. Halp.

Not the only one getting hit. Almost wish I were...

I've had that happen before... I figured it was something in the way MT blacklist was set up. Since Pixy runs all that stuff, once I couldn't find any trace of it, I just didn't worry about it anymore - oddly enough I've never gotten another one!

Shortly after that, got hit with a mass of them, but think I got them all with MTB. Hope I did not take out any good pings/trackbacks in the process. Agree with Jay's post (http://accidentalverbosity.com/index.php/weblog/link_spammers_less_evil_than_e_mail_spammers/) this morning, save that I would add electricity into the mix.

you can block them by putting this in your htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:VIA} ^.+pinappleproxy
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]

Great. I haven't been hit yet, but it's only a matter of time, I'm sure. I guess I could turn off trackbacks....

What do the .htaccess lines do?
