Spam Protection

Collective supports protection against spam using either the Akismet or Defensio API via Viking. By default this support is disabled. To enable support you will need to create a configuration file named spam_protection.yml in the config directory. A sample file is available for you in config/spam_protection.yml.sample.

Your configuration file must: * have the name of your desired spam protection service. Available options

include: 'akismet', 'defensio', or blank (i.e. disabled).

• have both your API key and 'blog' connection options included. See the documentation for your service of choice for details on these options.
