I finally took a few minutes to put in place the last anti-blog spam recommendation folks had--I renamed mt-comment.cgi to something else. Turned out to be as trivial as I thought. Just had to add the line:
CommentScript mt-despamcomments.cgi
to my mt.cfg file, rename mt-comments to mt-despamcomments.cgi, and rebuild all the files. No biggie.
'Course, this means that upgrades are going to be a pain in the neck, as I'll have to remember to do the renaming on each upgrade. No more drop-in upgrades, alas. It's probably time (or past time) for an install script for Movable Type that does this. OTOH, since I'm not paying for it, I'd say it's a bit much to expect. :)
Hopefully this doesn't screw up anyone's links, but the permalinks are fine so I can live with it if it does.
