Full Version: How Do I Delete The Throttleseconds?
Movable Type Community Forum > Using Movable Type > TrackBacks and Pings

My website aggregates trackbacks via an online trackback form. The problem is that MT considers the trackback all coming from a single IP address, therefore it gives out the "HTTP 403 Throttle" error and blocks the trackback.

I changed the ThrottleSeconds in mt-config.cgi to 0 but the problem still persists.

Is there any way to completely delete the ThrottleSeconds feature from the system?

Which files do i need to hack to remove it?

Please assist. Thanks! smile.gif

I'm using MT3.2 and have no other anti-spam running except for SpamLookUp that came with the installation.

There are two other magic throttle settings, which I discovered via the support staff at the webhosting company (in this thread).

These are

OneHourMaxPings - maximum number of trackback pings per hour, from all sources.

OneDayMaxPings - maximum number of trackback pings per day, from all sources.

Note: make sure your spam defenses are in good shape if you tweak these.
