The Pony Express <\/a>was an amazing logistical feat, allowing messages to be transported from St Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, in as little as a week.<\/p>\n

What most folks don’t realize is that it also only ran from April 1860 to October 1861. The service was halted upon the completion of telegraph lines to the West Coast.<\/p>\n

Pony Express, meet MT-Blacklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

don\u2019t know how much I am supposed to say at this point, but I have been using an alpha version of MT 3.0 for over three weeks and now that the beta testing has begun, I think it\u2019s time for me to tell you the good and bad news.
\nMT-Blacklist\u2019s time is coming to an end.<\/b>
\nWith the TypeKey <\/a>authentication services and other great features of MT 3.0, it looks like there will no longer be a need for MT-Blacklist\u2019s continued development. This is only bad news in the sense that I never was able to reach my goals with the program with regard to P2P connectivity between blacklists. In general, however, this is fabulous news for the community because the biggest negative aspect of a blacklist is that it requires maintenance. MT 3.0\u2019s new features do not.
\nWhen I saw the original feature list, I was highly skeptical that this release would solve the problem. However, SixApart did such a fantastic and elegant job of looking at the problem from a wider perspective that I was instantly won over. This new version completely solves the problem of control over outside submission to one\u2019s blog in such an elegant and powerful way that I myself was astounded.
\nI will talk about all of this more when the time is right, but I wanted to let you know that the solution is on the fast-approaching horizon..<\/p>\n

Wow. If the creator of MT-Blacklist is that enthused, it’s difficult not to join him in that enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
