I noticed that the number of pieces of spam which have been hitting my yahoo inbox have been increasing in proportion to the number which hit the Bulk Email box. Pah, spammers.

Even Movable Type has problems with spam, and they've been talking about ways to combat it.

Personally I'd have thought the easiest way would be to have a page which lists all the recently posted comments, in chronological order... that way the blog owner would be able to see comments made on months-old entries.

Actually, it'd be nice if LiveJournal had something like that (but then it'd be nice if LiveJournal had Trackback and categories...).
