Overview

Spam BLIP stops comment and ping spam from being posted, primarily by
checking the IP address attempting to post a comment in one or more
of the public DNS blacklists. A number of options are available
to refine the check, and with the option defaults, a DNS lookup
is only performed the first time an address attempts to post a
comment; thereafter, the address might quickly ‘pass’ because it
was not listed, or quickly be rejected because it was listed.
Spam BLIP creates, and maintains, a database table for this purpose,
and database lookups are quite fast. Therefore, concerns about
DNS lookup time can be limited to an initial comment attempt.

Here are some features of Spam BLIP to consider if you are
not yet falling over yourself to get it installed:
