Interesting plugin.  However, I'm a bit skeptical of how well
content-based filtering will work for blog spam.  The main difference
between e-mail spam and weblog spam is that e-mail spam is intended to
be read by a person, whereas blog spam is intended to be read by a
search engine's spider.

Rather than porting SpamAssassin to weblogs, I'm suggesting that we take
what we know from the spam e-mail domain and help to come up with a
permanent solution to weblog spam.

I'm very interested to hear any comments that you may have on this idea
and encourage you to pass this information on to your developer lists as
well as to other weblog software developers that I have missed.

I look forward to collaborating with you in the future.



There seems to already be some movement in this area:

I haven't looked at it, but have pointed people to it in the past.
