Ahrefs Saved US$400M in 3 Years by Not Going to the Cloud
I found Ahrefs a bit too aggressive. Thankfully they seem to honor Robots.txt so it's not much of a problem, but across the wide range of sites I'm responsible for, the Ahrefs bots really stood out as being a problem. Out of curiosity, I just double checked and the only hits from them in the logs are "GET /robots.txt" which is what I would expect.
I recently found a regularly update place for bot stuff:
https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-bl...
I don't think I'd call Ahrefs a "Bad Bot" but they are on that list. I'd call any bot ignoring robots.txt bad though.
- My VM gets thousands of hits from vulnerability crawlers (bots) each day. Is that normal?

Ask HN: Spammers got smarter or Gmail is no longer good?
Same problem as well; there are so many attack vectors it's absurd.
I've tried rspamd, SpamAssassin, and so many other alternatives. Then I decided to try writing my own in JS.
Spam Scanner (work in progress) is at https://spamscanner.net with source code at https://github.com/spamscanner. Trying to do it in a privacy-focused way, which is incredibly challenging to say the least.
Fortunately we're thinking that with ARF in combination with human curators (privacy-focused where sensitive data is redacted during curation process), and a combination of tech - will make this at least a bit better - and completely open source too.
We're in the progress of building an SMTP alternative, so we're not just a forwarding service (Forward Email at https://forwardemail.net) - and I hope to have Spam Scanner hooked in to individual inboxes as well, so it gets smarter for the individual users as opposed to group-think.
I'm hoping that we can at least make things a bit smarter with some scrappy measures over time. Hoping to launch SMTP by April so you can use Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or K-9 for instance with your own inbox running Spam Scanner.

Why Your Emails May Be Bouncing Back & What You Can Do About It
For a detailed description of these fields, refer to the docs. Typically, the result in the is_spam field should be enough to give you confidence that your email will not be marked as spam. Note that spamscanner does not assign a numerical value but instead opts to return a boolean.
