Trackback Spam
Over the last few days I have been getting hit with trackback spam, I’ve now installed mt-blacklist, and despite agreeing with the futility of banning ip addresses for comments, I have started to ban ip addresses that are linked in with the trackback spam.
The whole point of using trackback is to create links on one blog that point back to a destination. If the destination is spoofed it doesnt work for the person creating the link. So the ip that is used by trackback must be the ip that they are hoping to drive traffic towards.

Use the following link to trackback from your own site:
