Summary: Spamblock doesn't block trackbacks

Initial Comment:
Hello,

In the plugin configuration for Spamblock in 1.0beta2,
I have set:

* How to treat comments via APIs: moderate
* Check trackback URLs: no
* Activate wordfilter: reject
* Wordfilter for URLs: contains the word "ambien"
* URL filtering from blogg.de: reject
* Wordfilter for author names: also contains the word
"ambien"

I turned on the moderation of API posts due to trouble
with trackback spam not being detected (though that was
spam without a key word in it).

Now, since that time, I have received numerous
trackbacks containing the word "ambien".  They are all
moderated, which is good at least.  However, they
should have matched both wordfilters, and thus should
have just been rejected.  I don't know why that's not
happening, and I've had about a dozen of them since
last night.

Thanks,

-- John

I updated my blog to the SVN 1.0 branch today.  I will let
you know how it turns out.

Actually, the spamblock plugin evaluated a list of rules
until the first rule was hit. It did not filter the mails
further to check if any other rules are met.

Because of the current trackback situation, I think this is
no longer useful.

I've patched the plugin so that now when a "MODERATE" rule
is hit, the following rules will also be evaluted in case a
"REJECT" rule might hit an item.

Please check out the latest SVN and report if this solves
your issues, or if it introduces new bugs/problems, please?
