What version are you using? My guess is an old one because spam pretty much stops at the door in anything reasonably new.

I don't know. I just got deluged with trackback spam on my English blog. It's odd I didn't get any on my Esperanto blog, especially since my old WordPress blog was in Esperanto (I had a few English posts but people couldn't comment because the antispam question was in Esperanto) and I have my .htaccess redirect to my Esperanto b2evolution blog. I've disabled trackbacks on my English blog for the time being.

Trackbacks are, I think, completely unprotected in b2evo. And, as you've noticed, are spam magnets. Although I guess I should have been able to guess that needs a "on English blogs" qualifier. Either turn 'em off or use captcha to hide the URL from screen-scraping bots.

Digging up some oldies today eh?

True. Pingbacks are much better because they at least have some validation.[/quote]
