MT blacklist by Jay Allen is something we could consider. Then there is something that uses the captcha technology. It shows you an image giving a number and you have to type out that number into a box. I’ve heard that upgrading to MT 1.66 helps.

It has a feature that looks back at all your old posts for banned IP addresses/URL's...so you can clean your spam comments with just a couple of clicks. And btw, I've been getting like 10-15 spam comments *everyday* for a couple of months now :-) MT Blacklist by Jay Allen is what I use.

Except one or two, there have been nothing at all. From what I know, comment spmmers go only to regularly visted blogs, and popular blogs. Jivha and you might be the next Truth Laid Bear. Hmm, elusive popularity. (Hope this doesnt get deleted and my IP banned) Another stupid, unnecessary, almost idiotic comment, but I sometimes wish I had comment spam.
