As the title states, one of my many blogs gets a lot of traffic from spambots - but the number of comments outstrips the registered page views (on stats). This presumably means that there's a load of imbeciles out there with stupid programs pumping comments direct into the database.

I'd like to put a simple redirect in place - or as simple a redirect as is possible - so that anyone using such dumb tools (pun intended) gets redirected to the home page or somewhere, instead of registering a comment.

I assume something like this can be done via htaccess, since they will have no referrer. Or perhaps something that shuts down the comments to any form submission that doesn't come from a post page. Either would do but I don't know enough about them to make it work. Believe me, I've tried (and the mess I made was, well... embarrassing...).

Serious answers appreciated. Thanks. :o)

I'm using Thunderbird 14.0 after years (and years and years) on Outlook, Exchange and other Microsoft setups, so bear with me...

I have a setup where I'd like my primary email accounts (plural) to be delivered to one inbox. This I can do with the "Global Inbox".

But I also have a LOT of secondary accounts (individual admin addresses for a lot of web sites) that I'd like to collect into a second shared folder. I could do this really easily on Outlook by just having a rule that said "anything from these accounts, chuck it in there".

Ideally, I'd like to do this in the same way the Global Inbox works, i.e. losing all the individual accounts in the list (since there are about 20 of them and it gets really crowded).

I can't seem to find an option or easy way to do this in Thunderbird. I've hunted around for answers but everything's "Global Inbox", which isn't what I want. I'm using POP3 exclusively, by the way.

Thanks in advance.
