[Spam] Meet The Bulgarians

What is the status on this effort?

I have been getting mass trackback spam, and am on the verge of shutting down trackback on my site before I even see how useful it is.

I tried to post my personal blacklist, that has gotten rid of all the existing spam, but it was seen as spam on this site. :-)

The blacklist was just the URL's of the sites the spammer is posting (not as links just as text).

The status of what? The above article is about a certain group of spammers who are easily identifiable and who can be filtered effectively with the Spam-X modules provided. That includes their Trackbacks.

Maintaining a blacklist requires a lot of time and effort and nobody really wants to do that anymore. If you're interested in other techniques, have a look at our geeklog-spam mailing list, where a few experimental Spam-X modules have been posted.
