TypePad AntiSpam
TypePad AntiSpam looks pretty cool. I’ve been trying it out for the past week on taint.org and underseacommunity.com, with no false positives or false negatives so far (although mind you I don’t get much spam, anyway, on those blogs, fortunately). Both are WordPress blogs — I set up Akismet, got a TypePad API key, and edited 3 lines in “wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php”, and I was off.
However, here’s the key bit, the bit I’m most excited about — /svn/antispam/trunk/, particularly the GPL v2 LICENSE file — a fully open source backend!
The backend is a perl app built on Gearman and memcached. It uses DSpam instead of SpamAssassin, but hey, you can’t have everything ;) Nice, clean-looking perl code, too. Here’s hoping I get some tuits RSN to get this installed locally…
