##      Description:  Add SPAM (trough spamhaus.org) protection to your
##                    forum! Block those f**kers from your site completely! ;)

##
##            Notes:  This MOD will add spam protection to your forum.
##                    It will check the visitors IP against the SBL/XBL
##                    records at http://www.spamhaus.org
##                    The script will also block the use of most open
##                    proxies.
##                    If a record is returned, it will block the visitor
##                    from the scripts you specify. The results for that
##                    IP will be stored in the database for 1 hour before
##                    it's checked again. The reason for this is that
##                    the list is only updated once each hours, and also
##                    to prevent unnecessary slowdown to your forum.
##                    If you want to add it to *all* forum pages, add
##                    spam_protect(); at the end of your common.php file.
