I noticed that posting comments was taking 15 to 20 seconds. I typed “movabletype comment posting delay” in Google and found this article<\/a> with these instructions about an anti-spam service, blitzed.org, that has gone out of business. The comment posting routine was trying to contact the defunct service and check to see if the poster was coming from a “blacklisted” spam source. It would give up after 15 to 20 seconds.<\/p>\n

Fix instructions:<\/p>\n

1. Login to Movable Type. (Your account will need to have System Administrator privileges.)<\/p>\n

2. Click on the \u201cPlugins\u201d link in the main navigation on the left hand side.<\/p>\n

3. Look for the \u201cSpamLookup – Lookups\u201d plugin set listed among your other plugins.<\/p>\n

4. Click \u201cShow Settings.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Under \u201cIP Blacklist Services\u201d highlight and replace the text \u201copm.blitzed.org\u201d with \u201czen.spamhaus.org\u201d.<\/p>\n

6. Click \u201cSave Settings.\u201d<\/p>\n
