[[!template id=plugin name=blogspam author="[[Joey]]"]] [[!tag type/auth]]

This plugin adds antispam support to ikiwiki, using the blogspam.net API. Both page edits and [[comment|comments]] postings can be checked for spam. Page edits that appear to contain spam will be rejected; comments that look spammy will be stored in a queue for moderation by an admin.

The plugin requires the [[!cpan RPC::XML]] perl module.

You can control how content is tested via the blogspam_options setting. The list of options is here. By default, the options are configured in a way that is appropriate for wiki content. This includes turning off some of the more problimatic tests.

The blogspam_pagespec setting is a [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] that can be used to configure which pages are checked for spam. The default is to check all edits. If you only want to check [[comments]] (not wiki page edits), set it to "postcomment(*)".

By default, the blogspam.net server is used to do the spam checking. To change this, the blogspam_server option can be set to the url for a different server implementing the same API. Note that content is sent unencrypted over the internet to the server, and the server sees the full text of the content.
