_"Hi Roy,_

_Just thought that you might be interested to know that I’ve just posted a new trackback spam solution on my blog here:_ [_http://briandela.com/blog/archive/2005/06/29/652.aspx_](http://briandela.com/blog/archive/2005/06/29/652.aspx "http")

_This solution will work for any ASP.NET based blogging engine including dasBlog and .Text and doesn’t require any changes to the applications themselves._
