though it certainly looks interesting & will probably save more CPU
resources but the thing is that Bad Behavior will find more public
adoption than Spam Valve as unlike Spam Valve, Bad Behavior doesn't
require root access & many people are still on shared hosting without
root access to their servers.

use cron jobs as a workaround).
Dougal, I read about SpamValve and I appreciate your suggestion. As it's the
first time spam of that scale hit me (peaking at over 200 MB of dynamic
content
per day), I decided to just re-direct to a forbidden (code 403) page. This has
worked for over a day.
