Many of my members view the site on there phones using 3G. Lodes of spammers use ips from carries like tmobile and AT&T so some of my members get blocked from the site. How can I disable HTTBL for mobile carriers?
I am not an expert on 3G mobile phones because I don't use them so, if anybody more expert than me in this matter sees I'm not right here, please tell me.
A quick search on any security web page will tell you that there are already thousands of viruses and trojans for mobile phones but almost nobody uses anti-viruses in their phones, so a very big percentage of all the mobiles in the world are already infected.
So when you said:
Lodes of spammers use ips from carries like tmobile and AT&T
That's not exactly true. You should have said instead:
A lot of phones from tmobile and AT&T are already infected with trojans sending spam all over the world.
As far as I know, it doesn't matter if somebody is viewing your site from a computer or from a mobile. In any case the IP is always unique. So the problem is not if they are viewing your site using one method or other but if their IP is from a spammer or not.
I think you should try and find out the threat level your member's IPs have and then adjust the
"Threat level considered bad" and the
"Threat level considered VERY bad" so most of them haven't got any problem.
Anyway you should consider as a possibility that maybe if your members are stopped by mod httpBL is because they have a trojan inside their mobiles, so instead of you changing anything in your site, they should try to clean them.
