內容簡介
當涉及到垃圾郵件和pingbacks/trackbacks時，絕大多數都是通過trackbacks而不是pingbacks進行的。現在已經很少有人會使用trackbacks進行合法的操作了（在過去8個月中，我只收到了不到5個Trackback），因為WordPress等平台現在都使用pingbacks作為主要的ping方法。
我已經安裝了Cookies for Comments ，它可以成功阻止大部分的垃圾評論，但我還需要處理大量的trackback垃圾評論。因此，我寫了這個插件。
它將停用整個網站上的新trackbacks，包括合法和垃圾評論。然而，由於現在很少有人使用trackbacks進行合法操作，因此與Cookies for Comments相結合，這個插件可以使垃圾評論減少到極低的水平。
為什麼我應該使用這個插件而不是其中一個trackback驗證器？
大多數非Akismet風格的反trackback垃圾郵件插件通過連接發送trackback的URL並尋找到您博客的連結來工作。問題在於，許多垃圾郵件發送者實際上會在他們的垃圾郵件中張貼到您博客的鏈接，使這些類型的插件毫無作用。即使那些檢查IP地址是否匹配的插件也會受到spam博客（也稱為splogs）的打擊。
最終，使用哪種反垃圾郵件工具取決於您，但我個人使用Cookies for Comments、這個插件和Akismet來捕獲任何應對策略。

When it comes to spam and pingbacks/trackbacks, the vast majority by far is via trackbacks rather than pingbacks. Very, very few people use trackbacks for legitimate uses anymore (I’ve gotten less than 5 in the last 8 months) as WordPress, etc. all use pingbacks now as their primary ping method.
I had already installed Cookies For Comments which successfully stops most spam comments but I still had to deal with the tons of trackback spam. So, I wrote this plugin.
It will disable new trackbacks across your site, both legitimate and spam. However since very few people use trackbacks legitimately, this combined with Cookies For Comments should cut your spam down to next to zero.
Why should I use this plugin over one of those trackback validator plugins?
Most non-Akismet style anti-trackback spam plugins work by connecting to the URL that sent the trackback and looking for a link to your blog. The problem with this is that many spammers actually post links to your blog in their spam posts rendering those types of plugins useless. Even those that check the IP address to make sure it matches are beaten by spam blogs (aka splogs).
In the end it’s up to you what to use for anti-spam, but I personally use Cookies For Comments, this plugin, and then Akismet to catch anything that makes it through.
