Anti Trackback and Comment Spam Methods
What is spam ?
Spam is text or URL, in one or several exemplars, neither being waited nor wished, not having, neither directly nor from its shipper, no relationship neither with the recipient nor with a possible
resource related to the recipient.
How does spam appears in blogs ?
- Through the comments' body and commentator's URL.
- Through trackbacks' excerpt and permalink's URL
What are the anti-spam methods?
- Authentication by connection
- CAPTCHA
- Black List
- Bayesian Filter
Other methods to minimize spam :
- Time Interval between submissions / Number of submissions per hour.
- DDD.
- Secure Form Mode : force page and submission to be manual.
- Rank Denial : Directs hyperlinks an intermediary server.
- Autoclose after N days: entry stops accepting comments or trackbacks.
Which data are analyzed by these methods ?
Active methods do analyze the shipper to check if it's:- a spamer by coparing its IP address with blacklisted ones.
- authorized by authentication
- a human by CAPTCHA
Passive methods do analyze :- comment's data:
- nickname
- eMail address
- URL
- message
- trackback's data (concerning the shipping blog):
- blog's name
- entry's title
- entry's excerpt
- permalink's URL
What are the limits to these methods ?
Cross use of several of these methods allows excellent results concerning comments, but weak results concerning trackbakcs.
Difference between comments and trackbacks is that comments are sent from the recipient's blog, which allosw all above methods to be used, whereas trackbacks are sent from the shipping blog (this avoids the use and need of 2 interfaces).
- Consequently it's not possible to use CAPTCHA, authentication and Secure Form Mode methods with trackbacks.
- Another big problem, when all the trackback's data are unknown, especially the IP address, it is quite impossible to avoid spam, mainly because the blacklist and the bayesian filter are becoming inefficient.
- Last inconvenient, trackback autodiscovery is usefull for bookmarklets but also to spamers to who it gives the trackback URL.

Internet Theft and Fraud
My friends in the web hosting business have recently informed me that the big problem this year (2004) is security and fraud. I have read that currently the F.B.I. receives over 9,000 complaints per month pertaining to bogus email and websites. Why is this happening? Are just a few 'bad apples' doing it, or is it the result of a lopsided world economy where the underprivileged are finally striking back like the infamous Robin Hood? Whatever your moral view, I've got the strange feeling it stems from a growing unconscious greed in the social consciousness of modern society. People worship money, not spirituality or love. Am I wrong?

Ignoring These Tips Could Result in an Inbox Full of Spam
Although there still seem to be some differences among the US Government, the lawmakers, the anti-spam organizations and the spammers regarding what is spam and what is not, identifying it is actually pretty easy: if you did not ask for it, you did not sign up on a mailing list related to it, and did not leave your e-mail address on a web form asking for more information on it?it's spam! The spam issue is not about content, but solely about delivery method. The content of spam is and has always been irrelevant.
