I checked my pyblosxom.log and noticed that comments that have a malformed 
email address don't get through.

I'll fix this, check in the fix, and then, after consulting Ryan (our new 
contributed plugins czar) figure out how to split the comments plugin and 
family out into its own release schedule so that we can more actively work 
on the comment spam issue.

All comments on my blog go directly to "draft mode" and I have a Python 
script that allows me to manually publish or delete them which I usually 
run after I check my email in the morning.  I want to write an article 
about this setup, but I haven't done it yet.
