I'm Not Sure This Is Any Better

As I noted a couple of days ago, I upgraded to Movable Type 2.661 and installed MT-Blacklist to try to control the spamments on the site. This has been successful. No spamments have hit the site since.

I have another problem now. Instead of posting the spamments online, they're now emailing me "link exchange" requests. So basically all I did was change which Inbox folder they get routed to (and have kept them from tying up web space for more than a couple hours).

These people really need to get a useful job.

I've gotten the "link exchange" emails as well. I didn't install MT-Blacklist (as far as I know), I think they're using the contact information for people who own URLs.

I'm almost certain that you're right, as they keep comng to the email account that we used to set the account up. And I am used to getting them for my other site, although they usually at least make sure that the content is at least similar over there!

I just found it odd that I started getting them about two hours after I posted the notice about mt-blacklist.

Maybe my time off earlier this month took me out of their loop.
