I used Akismet for spam protection so far and it worked well in the way that all spam comments were filtered and not displayed. But why letting spam come in if it’s also possible to block it already before. So I just installed the Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin and the Trackback Validator Plugin proposed at Basic Thinking. It sounds reasonable to me, that even in case some spammers may resolve the calculation, it will at least reduce the amount coming in and Akismet can still handle the rest. If you aren’t able to resolve the calculation, you may of course send me an email instead!
