[COREblog-en] Preventing tbping spamming ?

[sirloon]

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
