| Probably the most effective method of prevention is blocking spammers and their harvester
bots from your web site altogether. It's a lot of work to keep track of spam sources,

block. The AATools RBL Locator will help you to determine if you're listed as a "bad actor"
on any of the shared blacklists.
RBL (RealTime Black List) Locator is a special tool, designed to quickly search for an IP address in DNS-Based
(RBL*) spam databases. RBL Locator checks a given IP address against the most known blacklists.
The information you get from the RBL Locator can be used to help anyone configure
his own network or mail relay for the purpose of limiting the transport of known-to-be-unwanted
mass e-mail.
*Mail Abuse Protection System Realtime Black List. An online database of email spam
sites that may be used for email spam filtering, either on a personal basis or used
by an entire site. Problem sites are added to the RBL almost instantly when spam
becomes a problem, and are removed again quickly once the problem is dealt with.
