Installing MTBlacklist again
Installing Jay Allen's excellent plugin: MT-Blacklist - A Movable Type Anti-spam Plugin again. When I upgraded to MT 3.1, I turned on comment authentication with typekey and that pretty much stopped comment spam. But now the spammers have moved over to Trackback Spam and I am getting hit with 30-50 a day. Time for a solution. Too bad Blacklist is just a blacklist. Would be nice if there were some logic like is available in Cloudmark for e-mail. You could do the same spam DNA on trackback spam. The standard stuff in MT of IP blocking doesn't work because they change the IP address every time. But logic around the offer and the URL should catch most of them. Most of them are about poker. Die trackback spam, Die!
