In reply to: Trackback SpamIf the spamware is using trackback the same way most blogging software does, it is scanning the html page for the hidden “rdf:RDF” block(“trackback:ping=”), and using that info to send the trackback.
As long as your plugin alters the RDF block to reflect the new trackback URL, the spammer will have no trouble sending the trackback.

I am using Spam Karma, and it isn’t blocking these at all, but I’m not sure how much it could be expected to do random words from random sources.

In reply to: Comment form hangs?Sorry, I already figured something out– The problem goes away if I turn off comment emailing in discussion options.
