I run my website and email on a server in my apartment (on a
business-class connection with a static IP address so it's all legit).
I built the server, installed the operating system (Linux), etc.
Ditto for the Linux-based firewall/router system. So I have *ultimate
power*.

I'm getting increasingly nasty about blocking unidentified robots.
When I block website access, I don't use deny processing in Apache
that would generate a 403 error or anything like that, I block 'em at
the router, so they don't show up in my Apache logs at all.

I also block overactive robots, like msnbot. The only search engines
that I much care about are Google and Yahoo!.

If you go to my router blocking page:
http://www.ke9nr.net/blocks/blocklrt.shtml
you can see who I have blocked at the router from all protocols and
ports (if I find any more Cyveillance blocks, that's where they'll
be), who I have blocked at the router from email, and who I have
blocked at the router from my websites.

I also do a lot of email blocking in postfix on the server, which
allows senders to reach my role accounts and private email addresses
but be blocked from my public email addresses. Blocking them at the
router obviously blocks them from being able to send email to any of
my email addresses at all.
