Also thanks to the rest of the Eagles for not giving up, and letting me watch the best Eagles game ever! And proving that destiny is a null world.

MT-Blacklist

Thursday, January 8th, 2004

On Ryan’s suggestion I am trying out MT-Blacklist to filter the spam. Basically it takes blacklist I entered and compares any URL’s in the ping or comment to the blacklist. Any that match are discarded. You can see my blacklist. It is the same as the master blacklist, except for one entry that was added by scanning my existing spam laden comments.

It seems this should work pretty well, at least against the ones I had been getting.

Scumbag weblog spammers

Monday, January 5th, 2004

I am sure there is already quite a bit of work on filtering the scumbag spam comments that get posted to popular weblog entries. But now I have to try and figure out how to implement it.

In case it wasn’t clear. No one is welcome to utilize my software and computer resources to advertise their crap without my prior approval. So bugger off!

Is there a SpamAssassin MT plugin?

Or is the solution much simpler?
