MovableType 2.661 does not stop Spammers

Posted by geeknews at 11:12 PM on January 20, 2004

I have been running the 2.661 code for about 36 hours and we got slammed today with over 500 spam messages from various spammers and even though we have everything clamped down real tight individual spammers where able to send over 100 spam comments in less than 2 minutes even though we have the filter set much lower than that.

    Perhaps with MT 3.0, the register must stop them..

    if you’re using mt-blacklist, 2.66x’s throttling won’t work. you’ll need to remove mt-blacklist to use throttling.
