Well I finally got around to installing the Email Whitelister plugin and just tested it and it works, yippee! I even donated the suggested five bucks to the author.

So what this means is if you've commented on my weblog in the last year or two, your email has been added to an automatic comment approval list and you won't get the pending approval message anymore. The new version of Movable Type changed the way comments were screened and I suddenly started having to moderate everything one at a time to keep the spammers out.

If anyone has any problems with it, please email me. Unless you're a spammer, then just go away.
