Irony: Ralph Nader Sends Out Spam
I’m not sure why, but there is something wrong about Ralph Nader sending out Spam. It’s kind of like seeing him show up in a converted limo Hummer smoking Kools with a too-young model hanging on each arm. Isn’t this guy supposed to be consumer friendly? To me there is nothing further from consumer friendliness than sending out spam emails. Come on Nader, what’s next unsolicited calls to my cell phone?

WordPress Trackback Spam!!!
I have installed plugins that prevent comment spams, but this won't prevent trackback to be blocked. I've been spam by many
MFA websites that most probably is from the same network with trackback, but they are not linking me on their website. May I
know how do they do it and how do I stop it? Without disabling trackback?
Thanks, and I'm using WordPress.

Ali, I’ve asked Senior Administration Official what plug-in he uses. We get a ton of trackback spam but very little of it gets through.

We actually don’t use WP’s trackback functionality any more b/c of the spam problem. We worked around it by using Kramer (here) to turn links to us in Technorati into WordPress pingbacks. That way Technorati is doing the hard anti-spam work. Separately, we use Spam Karma 2 (here) for comment spam. At another site on another platform we’ve had good luck with Askimet for both comment and trackback spam — I know there’s a WordPress plugin for it somewhere, but don’t know if it combats both.
