I use Spam Karma 2. It works great, so far it’s caught every single spam and no false positives.

Just for the record: projecthoneypot.org’s HTTPBL has shown an impressive amount of catches on some sites that I run. They have a pretty interesting toolset available for webmasters, and a bunch of integrated plugins.

The log and stat on my site are not accessible from internet and they are deleted every day because of anonimity concern. Also I set some spam traps that fill the spamer database with entertainment industries Email addresses including the RIAA and MPAA and also with junk non existing address.
It’s working! I recieve almost no spam. Also the pop3 server is setup to just ignore Email address not corresponding to an accompt so spamers does not know what Email address actually exists on the domain name.

I hope that they have a good time with spam at the RIAA!

Got the same kind of posts in my own site as well but Akismet caught them. I almost approved one of them until I realised the spam. Unfortunately I have no advise for you

I’ve had these type of spam on one of my sites. Fortunately, it is no hassle for me to switch off Guest posting and prevent them. The only reason I caught them was because half the words showed up as hyperlinks (each letter was a different link).

I find smp to be a good companion for the two plugins mentioned above.

I just found a way to possibly defeat these kinds of comment spams in Discussion Options. We’ll see if it works.

Cheers!
