Anyone know where I can get a CSV or SQL dump of banned strings to fight
blog spam?

I'm looking for something to validate against to eliminate blog/ guestbook
spamming.

Good luck, but I don't think it'll get you where you want to go, you
really need 0Em s0ftware shipped cheep worldwide, a 10w-interest h0me

antispam programs operate via a banned string list, vs how many
operate via a whitelist? I assume you have some kind of turing test
in place so the shitbags at least have to do the work by hand?

Hi Karl,

Have a look at Akismet, which uses a repository of IP's, sites and words to
distinguish between ham and spam comments. The filter benefits from many
blogs at the moment (input/training data) and it has got hooks for many
programming language, which benefit from its open API's.

Also, for what it's worth, he are my lists of blacklist terms. I accumulated
them over the past year and a half, whenever I got flooded:

poker
shoes
ambien
diamond
pills
drugs
metformin
rakeback
rake
baccarat
soma
craps
protonix
tramadol
slots
enlargement
amitriptyline
Lexapro
smoking
diet
gambling
fioricet
wsop
effexor
adipex
backgammon
supplements
hoodia
viagra
levitra
propecia
loan
credit
casino
pharmacy
roulette
Prozac
Cialis
phentermine
free
sex
xxx
texas
porn
loan
blackjack

Expect some false positive, so ensure you enqueue for moderation rather than
immediately ditch. Also add a disclaimer to commenters, as regards
moderation.

Best wishes,

Roy

I'm looking at using SpamAssassin for this purpose.

Construct a dummy mail message when a comment is submitted:

Received: by [your host] from [user's ip] via HTTP
From: [user's name] [user's email]
Subject: comment
Date: [current date]
User-Agent: [user's agent]

[comment text]

and then pass that message to SpamAssassin. Then check which headers it
adds. If SpamAssasin passes it, then allow it onto your site (but with an
option for you to retro-moderate it later); and if SpamAssassin flags it,
then put it into a queue to be moderated.

whither a trophy?

I killed most of my spam by blocking a single term: ".info"

Its hard to avoid when its being touted as a way to get around page ranking
in google
