blog spam (Update)

Suckers. More than 20 spam comments within a few hours. Using the antispam feature of wordpress – which requests for approval – didn’t help. First of all I still get mails requesting for approval (you can turn off this feature but I don’t want that). What sucks more is that the comments including the common spam words are left behind in the moderation queue. :-(

mp.at $ cat .htaccess
[...]
Deny from 66.120.210.29 # producing 90% of spam in my blog
Deny from 165.194.121.227
Deny from 203.151.63.145

Update: Thanks to AK who pointed me to WordPress Hack: AuthImage. I’ve had some problems installing it due to some security options of apache+php but I could fix it and it seems to work like a charme. If you notice any problems please contact me!
