Sigh....

All I can figure is it's one of those "earn millions without ever leaving your home" schemes...I've been noticing that the latest trend in comment spam is for sombody to use a real-sounding name and a real-sounding comment, but the url they leave is some commercial site. I've been adding the urls to our blacklist, but that still leaves the comments in blogs other than mine own...

Stoopid Google....

Yeah I noticed that too. Fortunately I've only had a couple and they have been on the oldest posts on the site.

Pixy? Hows this for a Minx feature? Within the comment alert email, include links to delete the comment and / or blacklist the sender without even having to faff about with the UI? Whadda you think?

Doh! I left a comment here, but I included and example of some comment spam and MT Blacklist ate it. :(

So, in a word, yes.

In another word, MT Blacklist does this, and Minx will do the same.

It must work!!! I had about 8 email comment- notifications of this new subversive kind, and all the suspect comments are already gone! Yay!!!!
