Movable Type has a plugin called MT-Blacklist. It's good but could be
better, and for a licensed product it's irritating that it's not supported
by MT--it's an external plugin provided for free. If MT were an open source
product I could understand that. But it's not. 

You can read my rant on Movable Type's approach to plugins here:

For a number of reasons, including some serious problems I am having right
now with MT, I may end up moving to Wordpress, not because I have drunk the
Open Source Kool-Aid, but because right now it's a better product.
