Trac spam

[Simon Peyton Jones]

|  I've spent a few hours today amending the spam filter list and trying
|  to expunge as much as I can manually. Unfortunately doing this via the
|  web interface is an incredibly labor intensive process, so I've
|  suspended my efforts until I can get shell access to our Trac
|  installation.

Do you know when that will be?  I'm getting one spam/minute at the moment.
