Spam from 74.200.*.*

    Just to let other directory owners know I am getting a lot of spam/bulk submissions from the IP address 74.200.*.* range.

    They may possibly be from a paid submission service rather than an individual with lots of sites.

    My advice is to setup up multiple emails -_- and then try to use a good spam fighting software and try to block the emails.

    3 For Personal
    (1 for school, homework ect..)
    1 for hosting
    1 for google adsense and ad companies you feel safe with
    1 for lower companies that you kinda trust lol

    ect..

    Sounds like a lot of Emails but u can easily find a email manager or something or make one using a macro ;D

    Dreads, since this is the directories forum, the chances are he's not talking about email spam.

    Directory spam is different, it basically means people/bots submitting lots of crap websites that violate directory guidelines, go to the wrong categories, or are multiple (unpaid) submissions of the same website to many categories.
