I've still gotten comment spam with upgrading to MT 3.12, but definitely make sure you're using the MT-Plugin Pack Blacklist, not the one on Jay Allen's site. Took me a while to find it on MT's site, too. It should be on the front page, in LARGE TYPE.
I am wondering something, though. The reason we get spam in email is because it works. No, really...do you think someone would send out all those emails if it wasn't, in the end, profitable to them? SOMEONE is responding to them, and buying their stuff.
So my question is - is comment spam actually generating any profit for the spammers? Is it actually generating sales? And how does one go about finding out those facts?
