Introduction

SpamLookup is an anti-spam plugin created by Movable Type engineer Brad Choate, which identifies spam based on a number of unique characteristics and administrator based tests. It includes:

This plugin has been updated for Movable Type 3.2 and utilizes the feedback rating framework. Each test that is enabled contributes to the final composite score of a feedback item. The final score (which is an average of all tests, including SpamLookup and other plugins) determines whether an item is marked as Junk or not.

Because of its many accurate and customizable tests, SpamLookup is the most successful anti-spam plugin for Movable Type. It is bundled with Movable Type 3.2, and can be configured on both the system level and weblog level (by authors with the appropriate permissions).
