Content Management: August 2004 Archives

Fighting the spammers with mt-blacklist

|

It seems that my mt-blacklist is now working properly. My activity log for last night displayed at least 8 attempts to place spam comments on my site.

If a spam comment now appears I can use a grep on part of the string using the despam option and add the url to the blacklist.

mt-blacklist Spam filter fixed

|

I have now fixed the problem I was having with MT-Blacklist spam filter.
The filter was not picking up on comment and trackback spam eventhough the web interface worked fine.

After some investigation and reading the install instructions CAREFULLY I found the problem. It turns out I placed an important file in the wrong sub folder. Hopefully my site will now stay spam free
