Blacklisting spammers

Having run MT Blacklist for slightly more than 2 months now, I have only positive things to say about Jay Allen's effort. (BTW it blocked over 40 (!) spam-attempts during the recent Christmas and New Year's vacations).

I'm not going to make it a habit to post screenshots from my logs, but the below (pay attention to the timestamp, click to zoom) made me laugh - right in the face of the spammer(s): The indiasilk.biz spammer had just posted a meaningless comment to my blog a minute before - I added his domain to my blacklist immediately and MT Blacklist kicked in doing what it does best: stopping advertisers stealing ad space in my blogs.

Cool...

If you're a Movable Type user and you want to stop all the false comments in your weblog / on your website, get MT Blacklist and start blocking the domains listed here and here...

I have been using it since it came out. I guess that about two months ago. I also have nothing but good things to say about it. The spammers are losing this battle in a big way because of Jay.

What a nice message to wake up to! :-)

Glad to be of service.

Yet another reason to switch over to MT. Good stuff!
