SpamLookup plugin for MovableType
I haven't had trackbacks enabled for a few months. Too many trackback spammers = too much bother. However, now that I've got my email spam under control again... (he he) go figure — all I had to do was add about another 1,500 filters bringing my total to just over 3,000... I'm ready to give trackbacks another chance.
Mind you, I already have a few hundred IP's blocked from accessing this site, but the majority of the trackback spam I was getting here was being posted through multiple proxy servers. I've installed a new MovableType plugin called SpamLookUp which I hope will help.
One of the features in the config file looks promising. Here is a screen shot.

Previously I had installed a different plugin a while ago, that was supposed to help with trackback spam, but it didn't seem to help much. Who knows, maybe this one will bring me better luck! Time will tell.
If yo uwould like to give it a try yourself you can get it here.
