Finally finished de-gunking my blog of comment and trackback spam.
I've implemented some of the suggestions found in the Six Apart Guide to Combatting Comment Spam, including using MT Blacklist to block incoming spam, and using Dave's MT-Close plugin to close comments and track backs on my old entries.
Also, I'm now only accepting comments from registered TypeKey users. It's free, and you only have to register once to be able to post comments on any site that uses TypeKey authentication.
