Blog Spam (part deux)

The last couple of weeks my blog was under some sort of spam attack. I got about 50 to 80 spam comments a day. Thankfully, Askimet intercepted 99% of those messages. But Askimet shouldn't be getting these messages, because my captcha plugin should keep them out... well, it didn't.

Yesterday, I found Wordpress Hashcash. A plugin which uses crypto to keep automated spammers away. So far it's working.

UPDATE: ever since I installed WP-Hashcash it has been awfully quiet on the spamming front :-)
Never mind... Thankfully Askimet is catching them all (50 per day at this moment)
