Anonymous users' comments are screened against the MTBlackList and the MoinMoin blacklist. They're blacklists of Perl-style regular expressions.

They're a bit too broad. For example, they block narod.ru, where convertfs is hosted. I hacked up MoinMoin's antispam.py to print out a Perl file that gets included by LJ. Not too hard, really.

There was a lot of comment spam. On the blog. That was pretty offensive. So it should be over now, mostly. The cron job should take care of updating this list.

But it's only for anonymous posts. And if you want free speech, you can add some spaces in your comment or something, I guess.

LJ comes with internal comment spam review tools. They're located at http://blogs.jhu.edu/admin/spamreports.bml .

I had to set the privilege “siteadmin” with argument “spamreports” to let users poke at it.

Now, I need to think about a Good way to handle comment spam.

# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

Selected Internet Site rather than Local Delivery Only.

Ta-da, people's confirmation emails will work.
