    Wordpress exploits suck

    I guess they have figured out how to use the comment box to send out spam emails.

    Anyone know of a solution that can just be done at the server level by chance?

          What... not digging Akismet?

          Looking into coding something to handle this little problem.

                  Comments are always disabled in my blogs. I hate moderating comments.

                      That is what I am being told, although I can't find any exploits unless you count the contact form plugin.

                          make sure to update your installation from time to time, it's really easy and done in like 5 minutes. As far as I know, you are safe if comments are disabled...blogging may be about posts and comments, but I never saw any useful comments on any of my adult blogs when I had them in moderation mode, just shitloads of spam.

                              I thought that Akismet was a comment spam issue, not a send out email spam issue

                                  Very odd and distrurbing. I'd be interested to see what you find. Or what you had for lunch. Yeah, it's been a slow day.

                                      I have one blog with comments disabled that I get an email to morderate comments to it within minutes of every entry I make.
