Akismet Spam Plugin for MovableType

Posted April 15th, 2006 @ 01:08pm by Erik J. Barzeski

Judi noticed that Akismet for MovableType is now available. The plugin has received good reviews from WordPress users, so I'm giving it a shot here at NSLog();. We'll see how things go here first before I deploy the plugin at The Sand Trap.

    You'll also note that comments appear immediately and will so long as Akismet works well.

    Any idea on the load this puts on a server? With the default 3.2 SpamLookup stuff I was getting slammed with tb spam to the point my vps provider sent me a kind mail saying "Getting Slammed? Can you set something up to throttle the cgi's?"

    I disabled tb's for now but didn't find any good solutions for throttling aside from mod_throttle for Apache.

    I've been very pleased with Akismet. It "blocks the bad and harnesses the good."
