So it probably doesn't need to be fixed.
See ticket #860 http://typosphere.org/trac/ticket/860 for a patch which adds a new setting "Allow pings for blog". Disabling this should stop trackbacking spam for the whole blog. The existing option for the trackback default value only sets the default value for new articles in the advanced options (allow pings). This can be toggled per article. _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
