I've noticed that when rebuilding posts within Movable Type, MT will re-ping listed Trackbacks which will cause repeat pings on the destination links. I suppose you could call this spamming in a way, as it is filling up a post with duplicate pings. A good feature for future releases of MT or a plugin, would be to detect if a post has been pinged already and not to ping again, or not to ping after X amount of times.
I have noticed that I have 3 pings on some other blog posts, simply because I rebuilt my post for one reason or another. I'll have to remember to remove the links after an initial build so that the duplicates don't appear.
Of course, that is just me thinking of other people and their blogs :-)
UPDATE: 29/10/2003
It seems that the pings only repeat, when the authored on date or time is modified.
Strange, i'm pretty sure mine doesn't re-ping when i'm rebuilding entries.
