I’ve been getting increasing number of trackback spams lately. Some of them I don’t understand, as the web sites that are mentioned in the trackback don’t appear to actually be accessible – so what’s the point?
I’d been meaning to install Jay Allen’s wonderful MT-Blacklist since I re-installed Movable Type, and finally got around to it this morning.
Since around 7 am this morning, MT-Blacklist as blocked 63 85 spams.

We’d recommend Brad Choate’s SpamLookup plugin as well, especially in conjunction with Moderate, which moderates TrackBacks. You can find both in the MT plugin directory:
