Trackbacks keep closed (or open if  you want them to be). This script shouldn't 
affect
the way trackbacks and tbpings work.

Problem is (was) whatever the state of the trackbacks, the original script fist 
sent 
the notification, then try to add the entry. So, now, with this customized 
script, 
every ****** spammer trying to add trackback receive an error (because 
trackback is closed),
so I'm not notified at all. In that way, I'm not spammed anymore, *with mail 
notification*.

Of course, no script would prevent them trying to tbping your blog, but 
important is 
the way this script checks if the entry's been added or not. Original script 
did not,
so even if it failed, ****** spammers receives a success return code and may
spread the word "Hey guys, this blog is spammable, you can freely add tbpings 
!!!" :). So I 
may hope this would reduce tbping.


Hope it helps,

Cheers,

Seb
