Spam-free after resolving my Mollom problem

Submitted by on

As a brief follow-up to my post about dealing with spam on Drupal, the problem I had with Mollom turned out to be purely in my site configuration. Apparently some of the configuration changed from the previous version I had been using, so as soon as I re-saved the settings it all started working correctly again! I'm happy to say I haven't seen any spam come in during the past ten days and Mollom is the only anti-spam engine I'm currently running.

iPhone spam, after less than 24 hours?

Submitted by on

You can tell the world is a-buzz about something when you start receiving spam about it less than 24 hours after its unveiling. That's right, at 4am this morning I received an email telling me that my iPhone was ready to ship. While I have to 100% agree that I'd utterly love one, a) they're not going to ship until June, and b) nobody's going to send me an email out of the blue saying that they're shipping me one - I just ain't that lucky. That said, if anyone did want to send me one, how about one for my wife too? ;-)
