It seems that many Blog owners have made their sites unusable, because of the fear of spamming. For example Christopher Byrne, Damien Katz, Al Gore Blogs don't immediately show up your comments, if at all. This is clear win against the spammers, they made you to degrade your online services to a manually driven service.

Siipi Blog has however been invulnerable until now (knock the wood :) against any spam attacks, since we don't use any of the commercially available Blog site templates, but a very own sophisticated Blog template. Whenever there is an spam attack, we will not try to disable our functionality but elimate the spammer instead. This can be done by contacting the host of the originating IP or blocking the IP (in the Domino Server document). In many countries, the police will aid you to arrest the criminals, and asking doesn't cost you anything.

Just recently we encountered a mail spammer domain, @finnfour.fi. It is obvious that they do not use a Domino Server, i'm not sure if even God may forgive them. This was our request (translated to english):

Hi, We have received an considerable amount of spam mail from your domain @finnfour.fi. Hereby we ask you politely to elimate the spam causers, or to shut down your servers. If the spam does not stop, we are obliqued to contact the Finnish Police and via them to remove your spam. Thanks in advance, Mika Heinonen, CEO of Siipi Finland
