I have MT-Blacklist installed on this weblog; it's very good. A few days ago tho, I got an email asking me if I wanted to De-spam a trackback from Mícheál Ó Foghlú. Of course I wanted to de-spam something from Mícheál, he's not a spammer, so I clicked through. That ended up with MT-Blacklist graciously deleting the trackback from the database. The right thing to do here is not do anything as "De-spam this trackback" seems to be code for "Treat trackback as spam". It does the same for comments, but I've never accidently trashed a comment. I think this is because comment notifications from Mt-Blacklist come with instruction "Approve this comment" which seems to be code for "Approve this comment". My suggestion for the next version of MT-Blacklist is to replace "De-spam this trackback" with "Treat this trackback as spam"....
