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.
