I found this solution to the problem I was having trying to use .htaccess
files in my web server (Apache under Mac OS X Server) to block access to certain spam-dumping IP addresses. I was formatting the .htaccess
files properly, and putting them in the right places in my server folder hierarchy. I had even modified my /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
file to allow the .htaccess
files to control access… or so I thought.
