Comment spam in blogs seems to becoming a major issue. Recently, even some of my favourite blog authors Jesper Johansson, Steve Lamb and Steve Riley have been commenting on how they have been getting far too much spam via the comment features in their blogs. Jesper has even gone so far as to start moderating the comments on his blog.I had the same problem with my Drupal-powered blog. It even got worse, when I started implementing trackbacks so that other sites could ping me when they blogged about my articles. I spent one eveneing deleting over 250 trackback spams! This is where the Drupal Spam Module comes in really helpful. It integrates really well into the architecture, works with the new Drupal version 4.7 and can deal with trackbacks too. Note, however, that it is not available via the main drupal site. Follow the link above instead.
