I used to use Akismet and still do on some of my smaller sites--but 
with Akismet, you still have to go in manually and deal with 
releasing the false positives, flushing the spam, and unaccepting the 
ones it let through.. Now I use Disqus or CommentLuv (different 
sites), and I also set all my blog sites to refuse comments on posts 
older than two weeks. I don't think any spam has gotten into my blog 
with either of those systems, once my VA enabled the spam protection 
in CommentLuv.
