Hi,
I found out how the spam is comming into the page. It seems that there is currently a big wave of trackback-spam that floods the blogs in the internet. :-/
I spoke to Ingo and he is currently working on a solution for this. I also thought about adding a hook to his trackback routines to implement a spam-blocker by myself. Anyway, unfortunately there is no solution for this problem right now and I think I have to check the comments by hand for the next time. :-/
Greets,
Thomas

yes, spammer did "upgrade their weapons", in last months.

by the way: why don't you suggest typo3.org to use this/yours CAPTCHA image, instead of the default ones, which is absolutely unreadable!

i can't anymore send feedback to ext owners because every time i have to try 4 times to guess the capcha! :D
