On spam and comments

April 24, 2008 on 9:36 pm | In personal |

Since switching to Google hosting for my personal e-mail, all of my Wordpress ‘comments pending approval’ e-mails have been silently going to my spam folder. I just finished digging through the 4000 messages that queued up. Damn comment spam.

Apologies to those whose comments were delayed. I’ve corrected the e-mail issue, and I’ll do a better job of staying on top of comment moderation from now on.

  1. I use Akismet (http://akismet.com/) and Simple Trackback Validation (http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/simple-trackback-validation/) on my blog. There is still some spam which lands in the queue, but its acceptable.

  2. Yeah, Akismet works really well. The problem is that Dreamhost frequently changes the WP install out from under me. When they do that, Akismet and all other plugins are disabled, so I wind up with thousands of queued comments.
