About the privacy issue - all the comments in your blog are available on the Internet anyway, so what's the problem? :-) So far, it’s zero false positives and negatives (though I also don’t receive so many comments…).

I have been using Spam Karma as my comment spam filter. SK uses a variety of classifiers and works very well for me, catching about 10 spam comments every two or three days with zero false positives and zero false negatives (well... I don't receive so many comments, so you can achieve similar figures with a very simple rule). As far as I know Aksimet sends all the comments to the central server. I see an advantage in it, but if one is a privacy freak... ;-) BTW: it seems that thare is a <a href="http://www.sebbi.de/archives/2005/10/31/spam-karma-2-akismet-plugin-beta/" rel="nofollow">spam karma plugin for akismet</a>.
