Unfortunately MT doesn't help with the referrer stuff, as it's just the Apache logs that I process for referrers. The only solutions I've seen are a) not putting your referrers on display (which you've already done) or b) blocking known "bad referrers" using Apache mod_rewrite (http://www.unix-girl.com/blog/archives/001080.html ) > Does MT help block that crud?
