What's with all of the trackback spam lately? That picture to the left there is the count for the last 20 hours or so since my last post. Add 600 trackbacks that I've already deleted as well as the 303 comment spams from the other page and you get 2,886 of those little annoying buggers. All caught by TypePad AntiSpam of course but then you have to go through and double check them. At least I hope folks do that like I do. Would hate to see something get caught by accident.
edit: OK, I found one issue that I fixed. MT Auto Ban was not configured correctly. That's now been fixed and hopefully will be dropping bad IP addresses into the correct block list. (Just in the five minutes I've been looking at the plugin, I received 147 more trackbacks that got flagged as spam.) Maybe that'll give me some breathing room.
