There is a total of 47 spammers on my list, and of them 33 are "Temporarily Disabled", and if "Temporarily Disabled" means that SpamItBack worked, then WOHOOO!!! Adios spammers! I've just counted it, the numbers may be slightly erronous, but I'ts surely there somewhere! Guess they got tired of all the spam lol! Talk about tasting your own B.S. LOL!

Hehe Um, I guess we'll have to update the database very soon.
(It was just updated 2 days ago!!) Did you download the latest database
since May 28th?

Yes -- temporarily disabled generally means that the host was not found,
i.e., generally that website has been taking off-line, removed from
a name server, or something along those lines. And yes -- we've
posted the sites that we noticed on May 28th on our website.
Check the notice that appears in the 'error' log area (you may need
to disable viewing of HTTP traffic if you have that enabled). If it says
something along the lines of 'Host Not Found', etc, then that is it.

Now one thing -- some of the spammers do literally have about 1,000
websites (those are the 'big' big time spammers, so far there are
only 2-3 of those, which of course are in the database. Probably the
ones that are still in the database ). But...

We are currently developing a new version that will pretty much allow
addition of new spammers much quicker. (Currently we have to
manually review addition of new spammers, and do some other
checks, which takes about 1-2 hours for one spammer, so additions
are not as fast as we'd like. Developing a utility that will make it about 5
minutes). And adding some functionality.
