SpamLookup

SpamLookup is a new Movable Type plugin for identifying and eliminating weblog spam. Weblog spam has been becoming more and more of a problem.

SpamLookup uses several techniques to identify spam (SpamIdentification) and then uses user-supplied choices to either moderate or block it outright. SpamLookup also supplies a management console that allows the user to manage all of the comments and TrackBack pings in their database, regardless of the number of weblogs they have installed. There is also a DeSpam feature to uncover spam that may exist in the database already.

If you're interested in what the plugin looks like, see ScreenShots.

What's Going On

Movable Type 3.2 has been released and SpamLookup is now a bundled MT plugin. If you're using MT 3.2, you already have the final release edition of SpamLookup, so you won't need to download it here.

The plugin available here is now only supported for MT 3.1x. Please do not bother installing this plugin for MT 3.2 or later since it doesn't utilize the new junk-folder framework available with MT 3.2.

I want to thank everyone that downloaded, installed and tested SpamLookup for me. And for the bug reports that were filed.

I always intended for SpamLookup to become a critical part of MT's antispam solution and the beta program helped immensely in providing real-world results as we tuned the plugin.

For those of you that are upgrading to MT 3.2, please remove all of the existing SpamLookup plugin files.
