The machine my hosted account is on suffered a fairly fatal hardware failure a few weeks ago. Thanks to the marvels of RAID and backup schedules nothing important was lost, but my perl libs (which were not part of the backup) seem to have taken a hit, with the result that some bits of MoveableType have stopped working, namely trackback and comment filtering. I’m taking the opportunity to upgrade MT, so hopefully we’ll be back to spam-free operation soon. Either that or I’m about to take myself offline in a rather unplanned fashion.
