Blog spam is a real pain in the neck. Tom and I have been swapping notes about this over the last month or so.
I had some initial “success” with the builtin filters, which I then augmented with the SURBL plugin, but that still meant having to manually delete all the junk that was being put in the “moderate” queue.
At Tom’s recommendation I’ve now installed “auth image” which acts a bit like the authentication code you need for submitting a link to Altavista or the one I used to use on search.ie.
The install was quite straight forward, but of course I got lovely errors 🙂
A bit of googling and a couple of minor changes later it seems to be working fine!
