Project Honeypot and Comment Spam

I’ve been using Akismet on this blog to filter out comment spam. So far, it’s filtered over 24,500 fake comments, over 100 on the typical day. I recently installed another anti-spam plugin, httpBL, which compares the IP address of the commenter with Project Honeypot’s database of spammers and spam harvesters. It’s been in place for two days and only two comments have made it past httpBL to Akismet.
