Another new entry is Mollum (www.mollum.com).  It was created by the 
lead developer of Drupal, Dries Buytaert.  It bundles up concepts from 
Akismet, Captcha, Razor and SpamAssassin (Baysian filtering) into a 
pretty effective anti-spam package.

I use it on BrooklynRowHouse.com.  It only generates a Captcha (visual 
and aural) when it's unsure.
