I'm not running the latest typo but I have no problems with spam. What did the trick for me was to disable comments after 10 days. Prior to enabling that I had dozens of spam posts per day, now it's one every few weeks (if that). Disabling comments after a certain time period certainly isn't the most elegant solution but at least for now it seems to work very well. My guess is that one of those image generators where user has to confirm characters that are encoded in image would be the ultimate solution (does typo 4 have that?). -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
