http:BL

Hello corebloggers!

A few days ago I've released a Zope product to give easy
access to the
http:BL DNS blacklist from http://www.projecthon
eypot.org. This works
perfectly with COREBlog (it was initially developed for
COREBlog) and 
helps to reduce load from comment spammers and email
scraping bots.

What it does is to look up visitors IP addresses by DNS
against the http:BL
of projecthoneypot.org. If the visitor is a bot listed
there, you can
block them with a 403 status code and a short message. In
case of error,
visitors can temporarily whitelist themselves to get to view
your blog.

You can find the code to download here:

Note that there *is* some setup needed and you have to get
an access key
from Project Honeypot. It's all documented.

On another note, I've started to list all the changes I've
made to the
code of my coreblog installation:

Sascha
