alessando, he was using every open relay in the universe... and potentially even zombie PCs that have spyware on them. Never the same IP twice.

It is one of the reasons I finally gave up on bBlog. No spam control. I did hack in a word filter but what a pain in the ass that was and I still get around 100 trackback spam a day that it seems isn't filtered through my word filter.

I do agree it's fuckers like this that take a perfectly good thing and turn it into a nightmare.

alessandro, I agree that comments and trackbacks are a major part of blogging but many of the large mainstream blogs have turned them off simply because the large amounts of spam they recieve are impossible to deal with.
