Protect your Apache from spam IP attack

Besides mod_evasive, there exists another spam deference module for Apache2 in Debian unstable - libapach2-mod-spamhaus.

Again mod-spamhaus is a configuration-free package. Just install it with apt-get:

apt-get -t unstable install libapache2-mod-spamhaus

Double check the installation with:

find /etc/apache2 -name '*spamhaus*'

Also remember to restart Apache in order to get it active:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

P.S. Note that this package is now only available in Debian unstable.
