MT-Blacklist

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

As many of you know, over at the child abuse site, I use Movable Type, and I have often raved about how well MT-Blacklist works to keep out comment spam. Well, thanks to a pointer from Christine, I see this morning that there is a bug in the latest version of MT-Blacklist. The rather simple workaround for right now is to simply not delete any blogs. (It seems that deleting a blog when using MT-Blacklist actually causes two to be deleted.) Since I only have one blog over there, I’m not overly concerned about it, but thought I would pass along the warning to anyone who might be using it.

    In connection with the conversation we had yesterday, I sent this article that was linked in today’s Lockergnome to the head of our Communications Department. What do you think, is the upcoming version of Office turning off images and HTML by default combined with the “spam wars” going to kill email as a marketing tool?…
