Yes, I did, but for the moment, it only seems to have found one reject. 
Most of the registration spammers are from China, so I have blocked
their IPs.  As they continue to come back, I will block ranges of IPs,
then finally they will go away. 

I have put in a new registration process, which should help, if it
doesn't I'll find something, but it is a pity to have to spend time
defending a new site from spammers.  Apparently with wordpress they want
to be able to post comments that are advertisement -- at least that is
what the spam plugins for wordpress say. 

I am going to tune Akismet a bit to see if it cannot help more ...

Thanks for reminding me.

PS: If any of you real Bacula users want to post comments (they are
moderated) you need to register, so I apologize in advance for the
complexity.  Wordpress is really great when it comes to posting a
message, blog, ... it is so easy and if I set the right category it just
automatically is posted correctly, but on the other hand with modern
tools such as wordpress there are a lot of browsers that have problem
with .css -- one of the bigger problems for the moment seems to be
Chrome, which is used by at least 30% of the people visiting the site. 
If you have problems, please try Firefox -- I know it works correctly.
