A vote for MTModerate from a defective yeti

Now there's a subject you don't see everyday.

Over at defective yeti there is a post up about issues with spam in Gmail and in blogs.

Unfortunately, I can't be of much (okay, any) help in regards to the Gmail issue since it is a closed system and I don't really know what went wrong there for him. But I figured it would be good to note that he is pleased with MTModerate.
I installed that on my blogs, but removed the comments section and just kept using MTBlacklist for that. But I left the Trackback part of MTModerate and according to the instructions that should have still worked.
Now trackbacks don't automatically go in for my spam and instead they wait for approval. So I can then check them off and feed them into MTBlacklist - hopefully it will eventually evolved to take care of trackbacks too in a way that it used to back in the days of MT 2.x - but the developer has noted that he is very busy (I believe he works for MT now).

So there you have it, another vote for MTModerate for comment/trackback spam issues. No word on how MTConservative feels about this.
