I posted this add-confirm mod yesterday, it should greatly reduce your spam: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=285591#285591

Here are a couple of pages about using htaccess to block URLS (and more):

http://linuxreviews.org/webdesign/htaccess/

http://diveintomark.org/...robots_to_go_to_hell

http://www.wise-women.org/tutorials/htaccess/

This next one has a code generator, makes it easy. You may need to turn off your firewall (Norton) in order to view the site (it's safe):
