This plugin adds antispam support to ikiwiki, using the blogspam.net API. Both page edits and comment postings can be checked for spam. Page edits that appear to contain spam will be rejected; comments that look spammy will be stored in a queue for moderation by an admin.
The plugin requires the RPC::XML perl module.
You can control how content is tested via the blogspam_options
setting.
The list of options is here.
By default, the options are configured in a way that is appropriate for
wiki content. This includes turning off some of the more problimatic tests.
The blogspam_pagespec
setting is a PageSpec that can be
used to configure which pages are checked for spam. The default is to check
all edits. If you only want to check comments (not wiki page edits),
set it to "postcomment(*)".
By default, the blogspam.net server is used to do the spam checking. To
change this, the blogspam_server
option can be set to the url for a
different server implementing the same API. Note that content is sent
unencrypted over the internet to the server, and the server sees
the full text of the content.
