That said, you can tune the signature file to suit your needs.

I've simply taken to turning ZB Block off temporarily when I have something that needs doing either in the AdminCP or from a SSH konsole connection that would trigger a false positive. When I'm done, I turn it on again.

Before we installed ZB Block, I was cleaning up spam and spam accounts every day, and the number of such was increasing, and that was, even then, with Spam-O-Matic installed. After installing ZB Block, the number of spam accounts that got registered (and as a consequence, spam posts) went to practically zero. I'm a firm believer in ZB Block. It simply works.
