Thanks Joshua,
So, If I am reading that docs correctly, the bit I have to deny certain USer
Agents should go near the top of my httpd.conf?
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^IDBot" block_bad_bots
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^$" block_bad_bots
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "Java/1.4.1_04" block_bad_bots
<Directory "/">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=block_bad_bots
</Directory>
-Grant

Hi all,
As mentioned in previous emails, I am trying to deny access via SetEnvIf
statements in my httpd.conf (to block smap bots / email harvesters etc.
I have two questions:
1. My server has several hundred VirtualHost directives. When the
SetEnvIf
statements are just placed in the main server config, will the block
those
referrers from the VirtualHosts as well?
Yes, if placed in a <Directory> or <Location> section that is not
overridden inside the <VirtualHost>s. See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html#mergin
2. How can I set logging to see if SetEnvIf statements are doing what I
intended them to do?
For your access log, use a log format that reports the user agent
(such as the combined log format). Then you can just make sure the
response code is 403 for the appropriate user agents.
Joshua.
