# There was a lot of comment spam with the User Agents Crazy Browser 1.x.x and Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; Indy Library)
# so I am using the following code to block it. Note that I removed the starting "^", so that it will ban 
# any user-agent with "Indy Library" or "TrackBack" anywhere in its user-agent string, and that it will 
# accept any character - including a space - after "Indy" or TrackBack.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Indy.Library [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} TrackBack [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Crazy\ Browser [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

# There was a lot of referrer spam coming from 12.163.72.13 (no uri)
# so I decided to block it with the following code
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^12\.163\.72\.13$
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

# A new tactic - using SetEnvIfNoCase instead of RewriteCond - seems to be quite effective (esp for referrers).

# Many spams and trackbacks come from User Agent Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
# I added a line (SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent 9x 4.90 spammer=yes) to deny this User Agent - be aware that if you  
# include this line you risk banning some genuine browsers, although I could find no genuine browsers using that UA in my logs
