Where do I get one of those things that goes in the comments box and requires a commenting visitor to type in an alphanumeric code before posting? I'm having to deal with a batch of spammers at the moment, and I'd like some better weapons.

UPDATE: Yay, MT-Blacklist is installed and supposedly functioning well. Party on, Wayne. I culled something like 40 comments out of the list for being objectionable, and that's great. I'm happy that the blogosphere as a whole is useful on this. Hooray!

Additional information: I've tried to get David Raynes' mt-close.cgi working, but it's been fruitless so far. Everything's set right; it's just not closing. I uploaded in ASCII format and CHMODd the file to 755, according to my FTP client.

Also: Once I figure out how to work with a .tar.gz file, I'll implement one of those Captcha things and be better protected. This means that the visually impaired commenters will be SOL if I do the Captcha thing; if you're a commenter and can't read the screen, let me know.
