Drupal spam ... arrghhh

Over the past 2 weeks my blog has been hit hard with spam... it seems that the spammers have finally cracked the Drupal comment form and causing havoc on other blog sites too.

What I like most about Open Source software and Drupal particularly, is their rapid response to challenges posed by hackers and spammers. The Drupal community has produced a spam.module to combat attacks and I installed this, this morning. Might catch the twenty or thirty spams I receive each day.

Sad to say that whoever posted the 4.5.0 version of spam.module made a bit of a mess of things, since you download the version for 4.4.0 - which , needless to say, doesn't work with Drupal 4.5.1.

I've attached the correct spam.module here.
