Re: which anti-spam plugins should contrib include?

Regarding "moderation queues" the comments plugin allows you to define 
what the extension of the saved comment is.  If you set that to "cmt-", 
then you can moderate on the file system itself by searching your comments 
directories for files in "cmt-" and deleting the icky ones and renaming 
the ones you think are ok to "*.cmt".

That's what I'm currently doing on my blog.  All comments get moderated on 
my blog which is good because no spam gets through, but bad for all the 
obvious reasons.

My script isn't all that exciting, but I'd be happy to contribute it given 
that it's the missing piece in the above process.
