Chris, there’s a WordPress plugin that checks whether a link in a comment matches the IP of the commenter – spam comments are usually bot generated, not from the site being linked.

Paul’s found a WordPress plugin that will do that, and it seems to be working so far. I’ve updated the post to take that into account.

Can you block by IP address? I found that almost all my blog spam came from two different IP addresses. Blocking those addresses took care of almost all my spam problems.
