Just how many anti-spam tools are enough?  Following Ryan’s lead, I installed Bad Behavior on ultramookie.  This will work (hopefully) in conjunction with Akismet and Spam Karma.  I don’t get many spams slipping past Akismet or Spam Karma, but what’s a little more protection?   Bad Behavior is also advertised as blocking the bots from loading the pages through some automagical detection routines.  That’s something that I had been looking for ever since the move away from my home server which I could run mod_security on.  Let me know if you see any funkiness!

    huh.

    dreamhost has mod_security as a site option. Unfortunately, you can’t tweak setttings, but it’s there.

    Granted, that doesn’t stop me from being google buggered everytime I change something on my site.
