Without a captcha posting automated comments would be to easy. I could also easily write a cron job to check my mailbox ... local system cat + grep + wget and visit the url's to common blogs i want to spam. CAPTCHA and Email now thats a nice concept. I plan on implementing this for non logged in users. The captcha would be needed on initial posting of comment and after the user visits the url. to avoid a simple wget script. in reality it’s not versus its really a join of the two ideas.

But the email. You have to open a new window, login to your email account, click on the link, and then the comment is activated. But I think email blocks more spam than captcha.
