Comment Spam

Since installing MT-Blacklist, my activity logs are showing hundreds of blocked spam comments here every day. Despite performing beautifully, I'm having to add new addresses to the blacklist on a nearly daily basis, as new sites are flogged. Instead of gradually constructing a blacklist long enough to reach from here to the moon, I am going to block any comments that list an email from the yahoo.com domain, since most of the spam that gets through comes attached with a fake yahoo address.

This means that if you are posting a comment and list yahoo as your email address, it will be blocked. There is an easy workaround for this: don't include an email address with your comment. I don't require them and you don't want yours floating around the web for spambots to find anyhow. Now we return you to your regularly scheduled agit-prop, already in progress...
