Movable Type Anti-Spam

One of MT 3.2’s new features, is the integration of SpamLookup, in conjunction with a built-in junk scoring system. So far, its been working flawlessly. I haven’t seen any comments/trackbacks getting junked that shouldn’t be, and only a couple of comments have made it through the filters to get to me for approval. This morning, I found out that this combination has more tricks up its sleeve… it can also auto-ban IP addresses that submit too many junk comments/trackbacks (apparently, 45 in a row is enough to trigger the auto-banning, since that’s how many I had in my junk folder)

Definitely a handy feature..
