I have been getting a deluge of spams in the last 7 days or so, 19434 spams so far in Akismet queue of this blog alone. ��� �� ������ ��� ��� �� spams �� ��� 7 ���� �� ��� ��� � 19434 spams ��� ���� �� ���� akismet �� ��� ���� �����. However something very interesting happened. ���� �� ��� ����� ��� ��������.

Immediately after I changed my commenting policy to ������ ��� ��� ���� ����� ������� ��� ���� block comments from open / insecure proxies ������� �� ���� ��� / ����� ��� ���� , my spams have gone down dramatically. ���� spams �� ������ ��� �� ����. When I implemented the policy change I had over 19000 spams in queue. ������ ���� ����� �� ������� ��� �� ���� �� 19000 spams �� ����. And yet I am still waiting for my 20, 000 spam. ���� ���� ���� �� ��� ����� ����� 20 � 000 �������. This is very strange as I was getting way over 3000 spams daily. ���� ���� ��� ���� ��� ����� ������ ��� ���� �� 3000 spams �����.

My concern is whether I am blocking even legitimate comments in the process of using RBL blocking. ������ �� ���� �� ��� ��� ����� ������� ��� ��������� �� ����� ������� ����� rbl. It could also be that spammers have suddenly given up or are being blocked at the ISP level. ����� ���� �� Spammers ��� ���� ���� �� ���� ��� �� ����� ����� ����� ��������. I do not know. ��� �� ����.

What is your experience with comment spamming these days? �� �� ������ �� ����� ���� ��� ������
