Sysadmin Field Notes

Blog spammers..grrr...

November 15, 2006

So I think after upgrading to MT-3.5 I've gone from bad to worse. Granted, since everything is moderated, NO spam gets through. That's an improvement. But I have hundreds of spams a day now that end up in the junk folder.

We just had so many that they used up all the memory on my box and crashed it. Granted, the box shouldn't crash, but still.

So to all you spammers who crashed my box, piss off. I guess I have to do some basic captcha or specific field, although I don't know if that will cut the resources enough to really fix anything. What a pisser. Maybe I'll just pull comments altogether?
