wlx,

I included that option because the original purpose of my wordpress plugin was for comment validation for the general-purpose bcSpamBlock functions I wrote. I’m not sure what all the other options for Trackback/Pingback validation are. I saw that the ‘simple-trackback-validation’ plugin had more options, so users might prefer to use it instead of my plugin . It makes sense to at least include a configuration file options for those users.

Hi Brandon,
Nice work, and I download that latest code, find that the trackback/pingback are included also, so what’s you option about let trackback filtered by simple trackback validation plugin? Because that plugin has more customise to deal with trackback.

Feel free. That’s what I love about open source software 🙂 I haven’t had a lot of time to test the trackback/pingback stuff yet, but so far it has worked well.

Cool, mind if I incorporate it into JSSpamBlock when I get a chance?

Doh, I had a problem with the strstr() call where PHP reverses the needle/haystack arguments for some reason. I just committed a new version that should fix this with version number 1.2.1
