 * My site is getting hit hard with spam trackbacks from what looks to be automated
   scripts (all the comments say the same things, similar words but different links
   and IP’s) I have Akismet activated and it catches a fair amount of the comments.
   Is there a plugin to stop the trackbacks that are legitimate readers of my blog
   that works with WP 2.3?

 * wait, did you actually mean that? or did you mean NOT to stop the legitimate 
   ones?

 * Eh sorry. I want to allow legitimate readers of the blog to post comments and
   stop the automated trackbacks and spam comments.

 * Have you looked at or tried the Bad Behavior plugin yet?

 * I’m running it on a 2.3 blog, seems to be fine — and it still blocks several 
   thousand “bad guys” a week for me. 🙂
