Richard, I want to thank you for your help with my previous post located http://forum.modrewrite.com/viewtopic.php?t=2404&highlight= and say that your method works exceedingly well. Now that it's been in place for sometime, I've noticed many of the offending spam is also coming from log entries which take the form of:
[02/17/2007 03:54:18] - 83.139.121.176 - "Opera/9.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)" - dh121-176.xnet.hr
[02/17/2007 07:42:27] - 129.59.34.121 - "Opera/9.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)" - A034121.N1.Vanderbilt.Edu
Again, there is a commonality with these in that Opera/9.0 seems to be a majority of my guestbook problems and eliminating them would surly do well to keep the riff-raff out of my guestbook. While ".hr" and ".Edu" are now quite simple to close the door on using the method from your previous response, I'd like to get the string of "Opera" quelled as well using the same method as before, as it does work so well.
I guess I just don't understand the rewrite at all...the syntax with it just throws me completely
TAIA,
Yo-
