Oki doki, so recently my blog has taken quite a heavy showering of spam and it's very tedious going through it all and marking it as spam, plus I get about 50 emails in my inbox alerting me of the spam.

Can anyone recommend a good spam blocked for WordPress 1.5?

Thanks
Matt.

ps even as I was typing I got a spam email :D

That's the worst thing about Blogs is the spam that comes from them, I haven't seen anything around. Have you asked over at Wordpress?

Please post if you do find anything on this.

I'm currently using SpamKarma 2, and that little sniffer just rocks!
Easy to install, and works like charm
