I'm using Bad Behaviour 1.2.2 and spam still comes in by the hundreds. Yes, my bad behaviour 1.2.2 has been activated, and I get about 200+ 412 (precondition failed) reports daily. But I still get spam by the hundreds! I went to sleep about 3 hours ago, and I just woke up just now to find about 200+ spam comments awaiting moderation, and about 30+ spam comments that didn't make it into moderation.
ARGH! HELP! SPAM IS KILLING ME!
(I think spam bots are taking over my bandwidth too..)
Well, send me copies as specified in the FAQ.

OK... I just turned on my verbose longging.
Jeez.
Last time I had no spam, then out of a sudden they come by the hundreds!
Does bad behavious still have a problem with pingback - trackback and return false positive? I'm using WPBayes and it works like a charm (you have to "teach" it first though)

For Comment spam, try WP-hashcash:

I'm also using Bad Behaviour and was getting a lot of spam in recent weeks.. but then I installed SPAM KARMA 2.. and believe me when I say that it stops 99% of spam, dead.
I haven't received a single spam message/comment/post since I installed it. The only spam which is currently getting through is via my WP-CONTACTFORM plugin... but I plan to replace that soon in a site redesign.
Trust me - just installed spam karma 2 and all your spam problems will vanish.. and just in case you think I'm advertising this product because I'm somehow involved with it, think again. My site is "Howl @ The Moon" and can be found at http://www.avalon5.com
Check it out and you will see through recent posts I've made that Spam Karma really does do an amazing job.

Spam Karma 2 is really good... although it can stop legitimate people from sending comments.
