I have started to get SPAM comments on this blog. I found it much irritating. When talking to Emmanuel about this today at work he recommended to upgrade moveable-type since the latest version has some built-in SPAM protection. He also showed me James Seng’s Bayesian Filter for MT.
I have now upgraded to MT 2.661 which was quite easy, just follow the instructions. And I have installed the Bayesian filter, the only tricky part was to to create the necessary tables in MySQL. I followed step 3. in the installtion but when I checked that bayesian-init-db.cgi was executable, I missed to check it was readable…. Once that was done it all wnet just fine. So now lets see how long it takes to learn to detect the SPAM-comments.
