MT-Blacklist Version 1.5 released
Version 1.5 of the new
Anti-Spam weapon has been released. Now, instead of simply de-spamming and deleting one comment spam (or trackback…), you can search every single blog in your entire Movable Type installation for spam, delete them all at once, rebuild the relevant pages and add all of the extracted URLs to your blacklist. So if you are a MoveableType-User and annoyed by permanently deleting comment spam it's time to look at this piece of software.
