Preventing tbping spamming ?

Hi,

I'm using CoreBlog2 0.9b for Plone, and I get spammed with
trackback pinging. I've disable trackback in my entries
(cannot add/hidden), but I'm still receiving mail
notifications. So I dig a little and found a possible bug
(at least annoyance), in the tbping python script:
  
  1. the script first sends mail notification
  2. then tries to add the trackback

I would have expected: try *then* notify. More, while adding
trackback, the script isn't interrested into the return
value of addTrackback2Entry(). As a result, event if the
trackback is closed/hidden (that is, not open), the script
won't be aware about this error (addTrackback2Entry() will
return None), and will return a tbping_result with error
code ok.

FWIW, attached is my customized tbping script.

Hope it helps,

Cheers,

Seb

But does this mean that you open up trackback to all now ? I
mean with
this script is it enough to lessen the huge number of
trackback spams
