What do people use to combat comment spam on Wordpress blogs these days? I used to use something called Spam Karma, which worked great but seems to have been discontinued. Since upgrading Wordpress a few months ago I use Akismet but it lets quite a few spam comments through.
What are the options? I refuse to resort to CAPTCHA or to require registration before commenting.

one comment so far...
I’m simply use an hidden text input called “email” and if it’s not empty when someone post my form, then i treat that post as spam.
It works fine for me, but i understand it has some downsides. Like if someone use a webbrowser which can see hidden inputs and try to fill it in.
