The problem is runaway usage problems with comments.cgi that I can't isolate.

About three months ago my blog was so hammered by spammers that my host suspended my account. I immediately made these changes: 1. Began periodically creating a random name (composed of letters and numbers) for the mt comment script (and updating the name in mt . cfg as well. I used to change the name every day, but now do it once or twice a week. 2. Switched from using the MT-Blacklist plug to SpamLookup. It's made a tremendous difference, particularly regarding trackback spam. It's no longer a problem for me. I highly recommend it. You don’t have to surrender to trackback or comment spam.
