Dan: Thanks for the prompt attention to this matter. I sent emails to
abuse and security as well yesterday.

All: Seems like universities are installing http://mu.wordpress.org/
on their servers without properly securing them to prevent against
spammers. They are missing spam block plugins. I found another @
http://clove.edschool.virginia.edu/wordpressmu/ that is being badly
abused by spammers.

If your university is putting up Wordpress blog servers, please ensure
that you are installing spam block plugin as well. I think this
problem will only get worse......

I humbly request that someone from virginia.edu install proper
anti-spam plugin on the above mentioned blog server.

Thanks.
