Trackback Headaches

I have turned off the script that creates trackbacks because I am getting hammered. I am not sure why, but I am getting trackbacks to posts that I have closed trackbacks on. The spammers are not getting a link registering on any of my pages, just clogging up my database with their junk and my inbox with notifications about it. So I delete them. And delete them......

So, maybe they don't know that they aren't registering a link - it is being done by a script I imagine. My main question is, why is the script putting them in my database when they are turned off? Shouldn't it deny them or at least just dump them? Does anybody know about this "feature" in MT? Is there a fix? I would love to turn trackbacks on, I enjoy knowing who is out there reading and linking.
