@James: I use Akismet, but it’s not really enough.

I use Akismet and it is good. The only reason why you don’t want to use Akismet is if you are afraid WordPress may spy on you….

Paul, I hate spam as much as you. On one of my blogs I recently I found about 100 comments on an older post that had accumulated some pagerank. Luckily I had just install WP Hashcash. I highly recommend it. It works with Akismet to provide a very lethal punch to almost all automated spam.

No, paul please have this spam filter always enabled. Because this will eat away lot of your productive time. I suggest you try akismet.com which is the powerful spam filter in the planet.

Thank you very much for putting in the info about contacting you directly if your comment gets spammed. I comment regularly on a handful of blogs, and from time to time, some of my comments will get blocked, even though I am a regular. I do feel you about spam comments though because they are so annoying!

@Liam: I’m getting about that, but a lot of spam was getting into the normal inbox which just becomes a pain.

How much crap do you get? I usually get 3 pieces of spam for every ‘real’ comment.
