Import mass chunk of spam DB IPs for Apache to Deny?

1.) Where can I get as many known spam IP addresses as possible?

2.) How would I be able to block this huge list of IP addresses outright? (no special pages or anything, just total deny).

Have you tried a search for "spam IP block list" or "realtime IP black list" or similar? There are many good resources out there.

I'd do it on the firewall level.

I'm on a shared hosting server...

In that case you can try mod_rewrite & RewriteMap Directive [httpd.apache.org].

Regarding the lists. I suggest you compile those yourself with bot traps. Otherwise you can't know for sure if the IP is really a spam harvester or not.

Sorry but you're going to have to explain that in a little more detail. From what I see is the ability to link to some external file, a list I assume. How do I find these lists? Then how do I connect the dots and make of it work? I need a single working example and then tips on how to find other lists and I should be all set! :)
