Fight the Spam
Last night I deactivated the WP Hashcash plugin here and at 2 Hole Cards to see how it goes. As of right now, the only spam plugin I have activated is my moderate trackback plugin. We’ll see how the spam prevention measures that are built into WordPress do.

Just finished deleting nearly 4,000 email messages that my WP installs had sent me for comments/trackbacks/pingbacks in the last month or so. Yes, that’s a lot of spam!
It’s been over 14 hours since I deactivated WP Hashcash and so far so good. I’ve only been hit by 5 pieces of spam (total at both sites) and all 5 were put into the moderation queue. I should mention that I have about 5 words in my blacklist moderation that are probably auto-deleting quite a few pieces of spam.
