Anyone know if there's a way to enable ONLY internal trackbacks (only to blogs on the same installation)?
My experience has been that trackbacks are mostly dead. I've had a small handful of legit trackbacks, compared to the oodles of spam. While I'd like to show who else is linking to a post, I'm not sure it all balances out, and I can discover who's linking myself through my referrer logs and Google alerts.
I've got the ccode/tcode plugin installed and it's done a very nice job of blocking the spam, but the trouble is that it doesn't allow internal trackbacks to work, either, and that IS something I would like (after all, I guess my own internal tb's look like spam to the plugin).
So now I'm considering turning off tb altogether, but is there a way to have my cake and eat it too?

In both 3.3x and 4.x I see separate toggles in the blog settings for allowing internal/external trackback. Did that not work for you? The options are a little different if you go into system-level settings, but you can get the same result there.

Sorry, Su, I didn't see your reply until now.
I'm seeing separate trackback autodiscovery toggles for my own outgoing and internal trackbacks, but not that you can *accept* internal tb but not external tb.
I THINK I'm OK, now though. tcode seems to be working well, including allowing my own internal trackbacks which didn't seem to be working before.
