argh! i've been lucky as far as comment spam goes (crosses fingers)... i also have comments closed out on posts after 21 days (maybe its 14?)... that seems to shut some of them out as they tend to hit older entries.

i too am a victim of domain stealing... i am constantly getting emails from company's firewalls etc. about non-deliverable emails and viruses... all from an email addy that doesn't exist! i get paranoid that my friends will get something like that and think it really is me and then start hating me more than they probably already do! =)

Only thing I have that might help on a hijacked email is to change the password to something long and messy, write it down on paper somewhere, then change it every couple days for a while. They seem to get tired of having to crack the account constantly, and if the passwords are annoying enough may serve to keep them out altogether.

This does assume the account doesn't have a security flaw, or your computer a virus of some sort that's feeding them information. Those are good things to check up on, as well.

yeah, i've tried that too. we'll see if it helps.

thanks!
