Yes, the AntiTrackback is cool. I didn’t get any track back spam since I installed it. Also I strongly suggest the MT Captcha - since then, I didn’t have to moderate any single comment spam. Blacklist is nice, but even moderation takes too much time…

Radovan: great info. i’ll be giving the MT-AntiTrackbackSpam plugin in particular a long look.

Josue: i may have made a change that has had an impact; i don’t want to lead you down a false path, but i’m going to comb through the logs this evening and will let you know if it’s at all responsible.

I’m in the same situation.

Also, whilst MT-BL moderates pretty much all the spam comments, they’re still getting through.

Hopefully there’s a nice solution to this.

I had similar issues with MT-Blacklist. After installing little more antispam stuff, I’m completely ok now. Look at my list: http://radovanjanecek.net/blog/archives/000184.html

it seems as if your experience is the more typical: i can’t figure what we’re doing wrong, as the config of the plugin isn’t all that complicated. nonetheless, we need to get it fixed, as it’s killing us.

So far the majority of the Trackback spam on my blog has been handled via MT-Blacklist. The only breaks (with both TB and Comment Spam) are when a new domain pops up that is not in the blacklist. I had one last night…22 comments.
