Second step – it’s use of Simple Trackback Validation plugin by Michael Woehrer.
Many spam messages is come through trackbacks.
This plugin eliminates spam trackbacks by:
- checking if the IP address of the trackback sender is equal to the IP address of the webserver the trackback URL is referring to and
- by retrieving the web page located at the URL used in the trackback and checking if the page contains a link to your blog.
Plug has options page. Everything seems pretty good – and again – wait for more info.
