Talk:Obsolete/spam blacklist

This is a list of domain names which are considered spam.

Formerly, this was just an addendum to the list at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist, but I have since found that most of the spam we get does not seem to be blocked by their list (i.e. removing their list from the sum total blacklist did not increase the amount of spam).

Moreover, including their list tends to make the sum total blacklist too long, and the blacklist plugin starts causing PHP to log errors and the filter seems to start letting everything through.

Syntax is as follows:

• Everything from a "#" character to the end of the line is a comment
• Every non-blank line is a regex fragment which will only match hosts inside URLs

Entries are now grouped by date, so older entries can be moved to the archive when the list becomes too long.
