Spammers have a vicious script designed for Drupal, that submits spam trackbacks in a loop, every few minutes, 24/24h.
Yes, this has happened to me. I redirect their traffic back to them: RedirectMatch /comment/reply/.*/comment/reply http://127.0.0.1/ RedirectMatch /node/.*/trackback.* http://127.0.0.1/ Redirect /cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi http://127.0.0.1/ Redirect /trackback http://127.0.0.1/ Alternatively, you could block all the IPs at the firewall (thus, dropping the traffic instead of responding to it, above), but that's a bit more difficult to do unless you own the box. -- Morbus Iff ( united we're bland ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus
