what does it do with the spam, etc. how do I know it is not removing legit posts, etc. we need more detail.

It does not allow to register spam bots and notoriously known spammers from certain IP's.

If a user registers, it's email (and optionally IP) is compared to the local database (mine) first and if a match was found, rejected.

Flow:

• An incoming email address is formally checked and rejected if invalid.
• If no IP match was found, it connects to the world-wide spammer databases in a certain order, and if there is a match, the IP is stored locally and the user email rejected.
• If the email address apears not to exist (MX lookup & initiation of email transmit, quit before sending), the user email is stored to the local database and will be rejected.
• If none of the above applies, the user may register. At this point it is sure the email account is not coming from a known spammer and the address is really valid.

You may test this service by issuing:

http://uspam.pagerobot.com/index.php...p=64.201.124.1

for a known spammer, and anything else for valid or invalid email addresses. If no IP is specified, the IP test against the world-wide databases is not performed.

If the emal is invalid, a blank page or 0 is returned. If the service is manually down, a negative value is shown. If the email is valid, a 1 is shown.
