I'm using Kwiki on a few sites. For a while, I had Typekey set
up, but the folks at Typekey will let anybody sign up, and don't
monitor for bot usage, so that just acted as an "attractive
nuisance" - worse than useless.

I now have scode captcha set up, and I get very little vandalism on
the sites by editing. Instead, the vandal-bots make html attachments;
AFAIKS there is no way to authenticate attachments or notify me when
attachments are made. The damage rate is low - a few a week - but
still annoying.

I have a cron script that informs me of new attachments every week,
and I use those to hunt down garbage, but I would prefer to apply
captcha and email notification to new attachments just like it is
applied to text edits. Is there any way to set that up?

Keith
