If one person complains that my spam filter rejected their comment, I will mumble some vague apology and hope that they go away and stop bugging me about it. But when several people point out that my spam filter is repeatedly rejecting their perfectly normal comments, it's time to do something about it.

I had high hopes for Mollom, mostly because I really like its founder Dries Buytaert (who founded the Drupal project that powers this site and many others), but whilst it does an admirable job of keeping spam out, it does a less than admirable job of allowing genuine commenters in. I've now replaced it with TypePad AntiSpam, at least for a trial period of a week or two. So if you have been itching to comment but haven't been able to, now is the time!
