On my blog it's caught 3058 spam comments automatically (with 1 false positive, but I think that was me fucking around). Couple that with Comment Timeout (http://jamesmckay.net/code/comment-timeout/) which disables comments on posts as they reach a certain age, and you'll cut out almost all your spam. Since doing that I've not had a single piece of comment spam but still get real comments. Since you’re using WordPress, you should check out the Askimet plugin (http://akismet.com/).
