Continuing the monologue... See: <http://www.cmlenz.net/blog/2006/11/managing_trac_s.html> We're now running 0.10dev and SpamFilter 0.2dev on edgewall.org (for the Trac and Genshi projects). The Akismet filter is pretty much disabled since yesterday due to Akismet still being a bitch. We currently rely mostly on SpamBayes, IP blacklisting, and simply counting external links. SpamBayes is trained with about 25 ham and spam submissions, each. Results so far: zero false positives and not a single spam submission getting through, while stilling allowing anonymous users to submit content. And spammers are hitting us at a rate of between 50-100 submissions per hour (which doesn't include those manually blocked by IP that Trac doesn't even see, which would multiply that number). I'm sure the spam bots will grow smarter and get around these measures at some point, but it'll take them some time (judging by how primitive they are right now that'd be a long time.) I'm not sure what the spam situation on code.djangoproject.com is right now, but in any case I'd recommend you guys do update to 0.10 and install the new SpamFilter. Feel free to ping me (cmlenz on #trac) if you have any questions.
