Giving Mollom a try
*UPDATE March 2016: After almost three years of good service, a couple of weeks ago Mollom started to give timeouts and API errors to my site. The support gave me cold shoulder and, as a result, I removed Mollom from my site. I also asked them to remove my account. The support I got was terrible and they kept saying the service is working, even though it wasn't. At this time, I cannot recommend Mollom to anyone and urge you to look for other means of spam filtering/blocking.*
After long time of contemplating I decided to try Mollom to replace the late and now broken TypePad AntiSpam.
The main reason why I'm trying Mollom is that it's actually built for Drupal, unlike others. Even their site is made with Drupal. (If you happen to have WordPress site, there appears to be a Mollom plugin for it too.)
I have my doubts, I've read some bad reports on how Mollom works (or doesn't work). On the other hand I've read lots of bad reports about Akismet and Defensio and other ways to fight spam, so I guess trying myself is the thing.
It would be great if the spam-related messages were customizable or if they didn't just tell the poor commenter their comment is most likely spam. That may offend someone.
If you have problems with commenting and Mollom on this site, please let me know. You can contact me in various ways. Please note: The contact form itself is protected now by Mollom. Therefore the safest bet will be to email or Tweet me, in case there is any trouble.
