Spam, spam, spam
Posted by kathryn in Blogging
Over the last few days Limes & Lycopene has been suffering. Those bloody spammers have pushed through the defences and wreaked some havoc.
And all this coincided with my being away on holidays.
Which means it was a few days into the spam storm before I realised what was going on.
We have fixed the spamming problem, retrained the detector and all seems to be well.
However a big big big apology to any of you who, having subscribed to comments, received some emails containing spam. I’m quite upset and embarrassed to know this has happened. A big sorry.
Richard and I are working on a better plan for dealing with spam, and also an easier method for unsubscribing from comments. Which will minimise this problem in the future.
Thanks for your patience. And again a big sorry.

I don’t know what platform you use – I’m on Wordpress and I’ve had good results with Akismet.
It was a bugger Kathryn, but not enough of a deterrent when you’re on to a great thing like your blog!!
poor you, not a nice way to finish your holiday!
I second Akismet. It works really well for me with moveable type – I don’t think I’ve had any spam get through since I installed it
