I just had to delete 8 spam comments from my blog. EIGHT! Since yesterday, I got EIGHT comment spams. Thank God for Stepan and the blacklist utility he installed on my site! 6 of the spams came from 1 IP address...I have now discovered "IP banning" available through the "Weblog Config" tool on Moveable Type.
All spammers suck...may they suffer low band-width and slow connectivity :-p
Posted by jfer at March 4, 2004 6:56 AMYes, we had the same problem - about 6 in one morning. All about PE. Pat put a "ban" on the e-mail address so hopefully that will help for awhile.

Posted by: mom on March 5, 2004 7:52 AMI had 3 yesterday which included 3 hpyperlinks in each e-mail. I do remember seeing the word penis in one of the hyperlinks in each e-mail. The only comment seen in all 3 e-mails were identical...thanks, alot...or something to that effect. I also went to the configuration section of my blog. Hopefully, I didn't screw anything up.
Stepan...A while back I remember seeing something in the configuration about turning off comments to individual entries in the blog. I tried to locate that option again, but couldn't find it. I know you recently changed servers. Could that option have been with the old server and not the new one we are using now?
Jenny...By the way, I wholeheartedly agree. I wish there was a way Stepan could make this Hubhome private in such a way that strangers cannot access and post comments to our entries.
