I've been getting hit almost daily. I can't stand it anymore! So I made a
small improvement: 

The statement ent.deleteTrackback(...) invokes method deleteTrackback() in
class Entry in the file Entry.py.

I added a property to the blog, called "close_zapped_trackbacks" and set it
to 1.

I then added code to in method deleteTrackback() to test for and act on
this property. Here's what the modified method looks like:

    def deleteTrackback(self,id):
        """ Delete a trackback """
        if not id in self.trackbacks:
            raise KeyError,"Trackback(ID:%d) does not exists."
        self.trackbacks.remove(id)

        # BEGIN ngps mods

        cb = self.blog()
        if cb.hasProperty("close_zapped_trackbacks") and cb.getProperty("close_zapped_trackbacks") == 1:
            self.receive_trackback = 2

        # END ngps mods

        self.moderated_trackback_count = self.moderated_trackback_count - 1
        if self.moderated_trackback_count < 0:
            self.moderated_trackback_count = 0
        self.index()
        self.aq_parent.deleteTrackback(id)

So when this script deletes a trackback spam, it also closes the entry to
all future trackbacks. Bit of a shotgun approach, but I'm willing to live
with it for now.

Cheers.
