I'm at a point where my referer logs simply become useless. I don't publish them on the web but get hit anyway. For about a month I tried to battle it with .htaccess and mod_rewrite but I feel I'm loosing.

OK, I can't prevent referer spam from hitting my site. But I can filter the log file later. Derefspam does exactly that. It cleans the log file using the blacklist maintained by MT-Blacklist. It works surprisingly well.
