Comment spam seems to have been increasing lately.
Yesterday I got a comment spam for an online pharmacy from the bogus address hrie@yahoo.com. Today I got two more comment spams from the same address for a different pharmacy. I just added some very aggressive filters to mt-blacklist in an attempt to deal with them.

I’ve been dealing with some pretty agressive stuff lately too. I updated MT-Blacklist to the latest version and am running a script every day to get the latest public blacklist.

Actually, checking right now oh man… I’ve got a crapload now - 300 some odd spam comments. GREAT.
Words can’t express…

Yeah, my weblog got hit by the same email address. Small-scale so far, but not many people read my weblog

spammers suck
So hrie@yahoo.com has sussed that all of us using mt-blacklist or similar bblacklists have added his email address to prevent him comment spamming. Looks like he is now using hrie@yahi7o.com - let’s hope he/she is blocked for a bit longer…
