This has long been integrated (and announced), see above.

The point to realize is that there are many spam protections in place,
what you see on the diary pages are those that have managed to "slip"
through. Counter measures are limited though as there are certain areas
we don't want this to escalate in to and privacy concerns make using any
third party service difficult if not impossible (not that I would expect
any long term relieve from them to start with).
