gmail spam maximum space limit full

As a blogger, I hate comment spam, they just kept on coming in and consume your bandwidth like nobody’s business. The other type of spam I hate the most is email spam, seriously I don’t need those pills that make my dick another inch longer and sorry mr.spammer I don’t need all those blue films and again I repeat myself, I don’t need all those things. The worst spam message I’ve ever come accross is spam mail that ask you to purchase a spam guard software, its like asking a robber to guard you house.

Akismet Comment Spam Filter

Akismet comment spam wordpress plugin

Its been almost two week I am using Akismet to filter those comment spam. I am glad to say that it is 99.5% accurate, not 100% as what we all wanted it to be. Certain comments was caught as spam when it is not, but the overall performance of Akismet is beyond what I’ve imagined. Now I am addicted, Wordpress user that is not using Akismet should get the plugin now at Akismet official website.

People have already begun implementing Akismet for other systems and platforms, I’ve heard that there are plugins for Moveable Type and others, and they’re working now on mailing spam.
