I have received more downloads in the last 24 hours of any plugin that I’ve ever released. This is due to the fact that 3.2.1 release of WP was released at the same time as I released my code. Everyone is upgrading WP and then going back and upgrading their plugins.<\/p>\n
The main change to the Spammer code is for users behind a firewall. I made the changes but don’t have any way of checking them. I run a version of the code here at work for a routine that logs IP address of incoming hits. It works here behind a firewall, but I don’t know if the version I incorporated into Spammers is working.<\/p>\n
I fixed a bunch of little bugs and added some things to the MU panels. I changed the way MU works again.<\/p>\n
I added a “Really Really Clean strings” function to sanitize the incoming data. I have not had a crash on any of my installations since I added it. So I hope that it works.<\/p>\n
This site, which doesn’t get much traffic, gets about 200 spam hits a day. I get a 40\u00a0 or so legit hits. Let’s face in, there is not much here to attract surfers. Most legit hits come from WordPress.<\/p>\n
I am testing sending spammers a 404 error on rejection. I figure that the engines must record the 404 errors and remove the site from the list when they find it (or don’t as it turns out). This might “teach” spammers to stop sending spam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
