I've just installed Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist, version 1.0-beta. Easy install and pretty effective I think. Of course there is more work to be done but it already includes a lot of features & there is a huge list of domains already included on the blacklist, plus you can add your own words & domains too. I just added the word "Viagra" as a test then tried posting a comment with this word in, only to be promptly told:
"This comment could not be posted due to questionable content".
Take a look at my current blacklist, at the moment, I've only added one word to it, but you can easily add words and domains as needed.
If you run MT and have a problem with comment spam or don't want to have a problem, then I'd suggest checking it out!
UPDATE: 18/10/2003
Some bugs have been fixed and will be part of the upcoming 1.1 release. You can of course fix a few problems with the blacklist in advance, just follow the instructions.
UPDATE: 30/10/2003
Version 1.5 has now been released.
There is a bug in the old default blacklist that your blacklist is affected by. See here to fix.

Posted by: Jay Allen at October 18, 2003 02:42 PMThanks Jay,
I've made the changes now with regards to the blacklist. I don't appear to be experiencing any of the other reported problems though. Maybe Six Apart will include the plugin as default in future releases!
