Anti-Spam Scorecard

My dangerously simple, free, outsourced anti-spam filter is kicking spammer butt. And not just a little. Last night I actually looked at the numbers: 2 spam messages have penetrated the defenses and actually been posted before I caught them myself. And I think 1 legitimate comment was incorrectly marked as spam. And something in the neighborhood of 600 comments and trakcbacks have been correctly categorized automatically.

In other words, spammers are losing this little game by a score of 600 to 3.

And that %0.5 error rate drops to zero if you ignore the first couple months the comment system went in.
