After another comment spam barrage (1,800 this morning!!), I think it’s time to do the upgrade to Movable Type 3.0. I’m a little apprehensive, but I really don’t have several hours to spend deleting this crap every time. Has anyone got any experience with MT3 yet? Will it kill this comment spam problem?

how does MT 3 improve on spam?
BTW how does MT notify you about comments?
I think MT 3 is now a bit more stable since they’ve released version 3.01D. The best thing I’ve done to get rid of comment spam, though, is to rename the mt-comments.cgi file. Instructions found here:

Since making this simple change I’ve had literally zero comment spam.
Install this…

…and never look back. It deletes, manages and blocks comment span. I had one of those 1300 comment spam days, then I found this.
At the push of a button they all vanished, never to return.
