[geeklog-spam] FYI: Project Honey Pot's http:BL

> Anyone want to try and write a Spam-X module for this?

I'm just doing an update and commit cycle of a module.

To use this module, you will need:

1) To install PEAR::Net_DNS (http://pear.php.net/package/Net_DNS)
2) To register with Project Honeypot
3) To install a Honeypot or Quick Link
4) To agree to the http:BL T&C's and get an access key

You will probably need to:

1) Find out the Nameserver ip addresses you can use from your web host.

It's a pretty neat system actually. I like it a lot. But, it's going
to be very hard to get it working if you are a novice. The issue I had
was that the simple case of Net_DNS doesn't work (UDP query). Until I
specified to force TCP and hand-configured the two DNS server IP
addresses from my ISP I got nothing out of it. I can't see many users
doing that.

Plus there's the multitude of hoops to jump through to get access to
the http:BL as it is. I'll see what I can do about getting a Geeklog
Honeypot generator sorted.
