Related to my previous post, there is a WordPress SpamAssassin Plugin over on IO Error. (via Photomatt). The initial version is pretty simple, connecting to the spamd server and getting a simple true/false spam verdict on a comment. But the author says that he wants to improve it to use the SA scoring system to send “maybe spam” messages to moderation.
I’m waiting patiently for the comment spammers to try and hit me again. I’ve installed a few things I haven’t posted about (yet) as well, and we’ll see how everything goes. I’m still waiting for the shakedown cruise, as it were.
