I'm planning on giving Mollom a week - it's got to do better than Akismet and SK2 were doing. I'd hate to have to resort to captcha *shudder* I figured there wouldn’t be a tonne of WP-folk running a Drupal-oriented spamblocker (yet).

Make sure to provide feedback to Mollom and give it a few days to learn your site\'s spam. There aren\’t that many people using Mollom on Wordpress yet.

I'll check it out. and sorry for the comment-eatage. Mollom isn't performing too well after all. It's letting a surprising number of spamments through, and apparently making some false positives as well. The spam is just a fact of life, but the false positives are pretty much unforgivable... thanks. I’ll check it out.

I think the spammers are offshoring manual entry! They even have relevant and occasionally interesting things to say, but it's still spam.
