Do you run a Movabletype blog?
spam vulnerability
One of the most popular blog packages, Movabletype, comes with a utility, not even used in the default configuration, that can (and is) being hijacked by spammers trying to sell Viagra© to turkeys. If you operate a Movabletype blog, please make sure you read the front page of movabletype.org urgently.

If you get a spam email that says, in its message body, "... has sent you a link .. Title: .. Link: ...", then please refer to its FROM address. For once, it will be correct. A courtesy email to the blog owner (visit their domain) should wake them up.
