Not entirely documented feature of MT-Blacklist
Some of my fellow MT bloggers with comments may have gotten a lot of spam from a particular email address: hrie@yahoo.com. I'll leave out the vile invectives, all deserved, that others have heaped upon his sorry head, and merely point out that "Hrie"'s annoyance is his habit of shifting IP addresses, thus making him more difficult to block.
Except that, having tested it, MT-Blacklist has a "semi-documented" feature. (The author mentions it in a comment I found, but I didn't see it in the manual.) Basically, you can add email addresses to your blacklist. Since Hrie seems content to keep the same email address, it works a treat.
To some, this was probably obvious, but hey, some of my readers aren't tech types. Hope it helps!

Can you add which domain name server you use for your site to your "About the Site" category? I'm looking for one for my 1L blog in the fall. Thanks!

Thanks for passing along that bit of knowledge.

I host using http://www.gradwell.com. However, this is largely because I started the website while I was still in England, and it's got a good package for developers, so if you're just blogging, it's probably too much.

Damn, I should have thought of that. Thanks -- hrie is hereby banished from my blog!

I love google for that - I kept getting spam and was searching for a way to ban an email address and then thought damn it I can't be the only one with a problem with hrie so I searched for the email and came across this tip. Thanks so much (again I should have realised but hey)
cheers
