MT Blacklist Question
Okay. I have my preference set to recieve email notification when someone comments, so that I can catch the spammers. BUT, sometimes, they get around it, and I don't recieve an email when the spammers comment, so I can't "despam" in the normal way. I don't know how they do it, those wily dogs. Anyway-- most of it seems to come from bob@somethingoranother.com Is there a way to ban an email address that starts with bob@"whatever"?
Come on geniuses. I need some help. Bob is making me nuts.

Sorry about this. It's just a bad joke from Jano. And yeah, annihilate those spammers! Grr!

i am just a newbie but here goes what i did to get my comment spam down from 50 or 60 an hour to nil ...nada...none
my blogger thingy is 'wordpress' and it has a plugin called spam karma (or something like that) not sure how it works or what it does but lets hope it's nasty.

Hey! Bob has been driving me nuts, too! His email is always something like bob@y(insert random number here)o.com... I'd like to bash him with a tire iron a few good times! I've been trying to write a catchall regexp in perl to deal with the menace that is Bob, but so far I've been unsuccessful... I'll let you know if I figure it out.
