Magic Word / trackback plugin

Hi,

I'm using Magic Word plugin to prevent comment spam,
I like it for easy to use and very useful.

But I have a problem.

I'm using trackback plugin, too.
When I use "Magic Word" and "trackback" both plugins,
"Magic Word" plugin reject all trackback!

Then, I confirmed other comment spam plugin , "nospam" plugin.
The "nospam" plugin included the following code to not reject trackback
in cb_comment_reject().

  > comment = args['comment']
  > if comment['author'].count("Trackback") > 0:
  >  return False

Is the "Magic Word" plugin needed such a code?


Next, I have a question.

The "no spam" plugin check which comment['author'] include "Trackback" string.
If comment author field include "Trackback" in comment spam,
dose the comment spam pass through a reject filter?

I think, in trackback plugin, when cdict dictionary have the data
indicate trackback, other plugin can check which comment or trackback
data safely, such a following code.

             from Pyblosxom.pyblosxom import Request
             from Pyblosxom.pyblosxom import PyBlosxom

In this case, magic_word can modify the following to not reject trackback.

     data = request.getData()

If the above modification, for trackback, magic_word plugin, has no problem,
please apply these next release.
