Blogspam Defense: MT-Blacklist v1.0by Joe Katzman at October 14, 2003 8:01 AM
Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist v1.0 is ready and released! This is a must-install plugin for anyone affected by or concerned about blog comment spam on their Movable Type blogs. Despite Jay's marathon sleepless programming session, the documentation is pretty clear and installation is simple for anyone with FTP and a browser. If you have trouble, Jay is asleep but email joe, at windsofchange.net and I'll do my best to help. We have a few tests to run on our install and one more antispam measure to nail down, and then comments will re-open again. Meanwhile, if you have a Moveable Type blog, get this plugin! For other measures you can take on Movable Type blogs and beyond, see our (updated & expanded) Sunday post: "Dealing With Comment Spammer Infestations." All rights reserved.
