Spam Fighting in Movable Type
SpamLookup
SpamLookup is a plugin that comes with every version of Movable Type. The design of SpamLookup was inspired by SpamAssassin, a popular email spam detection and filtering program. The concept behind the design is that each comment coming into the system passes through a serious a filters, each filter assigning a score to the comment. A filter can give a positive score if the comment looks legitimate, or a negative score if it looks spamish.
3rd Party SpamLookup Filters
Like SpamAssassin anyone can build and create filters of their own. The following is a list of plugins you can download and use with SpamLookup to increase your spam fighting capabilities.
Akismet
Akismet is a service created by our friends the WordPress folks that provides a centralized spam database and spam identification service. The service works by comments being transmitted to Akismet which compares the comment to known spam in the database.
