Trackbacks keep closed (or open if  you want them to be). This script shoul=
dn't affect
the way trackbacks and tbpings work.

Problem is (was) whatever the state of the trackbacks, the original script =
fist sent=20
the notification, then try to add the entry. So, now, with this customized =
script,=20
every ****** spammer trying to add trackback receive an error (because trac=
kback is closed),
so I'm not notified at all. In that way, I'm not spammed anymore, *with mai=
l notification*.

Of course, no script would prevent them trying to tbping your blog, but imp=
ortant is=20
the way this script checks if the entry's been added or not. Original scrip=
t did not,
so even if it failed, ****** spammers receives a success return code and may
spread the word "Hey guys, this blog is spammable, you can freely add tbpin=
gs !!!" :). So I=20
may hope this would reduce tbping.


Hope it helps,

Cheers,

Seb
