Re: [Httpbl-beta] Missing /apsx/ directory

It's been over two months since I signed up for the mod_httpBL beta, and then discovered that WAMP users need not apply. I no longer have much personal need to be part of the beta now, because I've found a workaround to utilize http:BL in the meantime. Since the only current purpose of my Apache server is to service my blog, and the authors of the blogging CMS I use are more proactive and have already produced an http:BL module for their software, I have begun using that to great effect. It blocks at least 70% of the comment spammers now based on IP alone. I suppose I will continue to occasionally monitor the progress of this WRT Apache and Windows, because I would prefer to do this at the server rather than site level for obvious reasons, but in the meantime I have had my immediate needs met.
