Hi @Jennifer thank you so much, I am using Akismet plugin, it is working very well and it always it send spam comments into spam box but I hate spam in spam box too. I am looking for any idea to ban spammars IP address.

Oh, sorry, I got so carried away agreeing with you and talking about a solution, I forgot to tell you that all you need to do is go to your wordpress dashboard and delete them…. BUT if you will install Defensio, that will handle the majority of these pesky, irritating spammer comments.

We get spammed in our email accounts, then we create our blogs and the blog spammers find us there. Yes, it is aggravating at times.

A few of my WordPress self hosted blog sites were really being beat to death by spammers wanting to get backlinks to their ppc sites and akismet was not stopping them all. Installing the Defensio Plugin has stopped virtually ALL the spam. If using it for personal use, it is free and you just need the api key from them to get it going.

I don't receive too many comments to begin with. So, fighting spam is never a problem for me. They always have something funny to say, so, I let them post. Are you using the Akismet spam plugin for Wordpress? .-= Manu Ullas´s last blog ..mu: I forgot Id turned off notifications/ =-.
