It would appear that MT's comments system now constitutes an open mail source that can be freely abused by spammers:

As much as I don't like to do this, I think I'm temporarily disabling comments. You may wish to consider doing the same until 3.15 and/or the patch is out.
Based on the what Jay said about an hour ago on the 6A Pronet list, it might not be too long before we can re-enable things.
Update 9:34PM CST:
After consulting with yukino and reading up more on this, I've re-enabled comments — but only after completely disabling all email notifications on this MT install.
That should protect me until 3.15 is released and I can get it installed.
Update 9:52PM CST:
3.15 is available for download.

I've now updated my installation; daily babble is up and running on MT 3.15.
Jay, you rock!
