I have, however, laughed at the numerous attempts to spam me out, and Spam Karma's relentless slaughtering of said comments.

these require a commenter to enter an numeric digit string generated randomly from img files.

and by far the best protection for MoveableType is scode

Since installing scode on two of my clients sites using MT it has been flawless in stopping spam. I had previously been using Blacklist but it takes too much maintenance updating the list and despamming, scode stops it before it gets to your blog.

It worked for a short while until I noticed what was happening and set MT-Blacklist to work. Then I got to laugh at a long list of rejected attempts. There are lots of reasons to switch away from MT, but thanks to Jay Allen, I don't consider spam to be one of them. One of my MT blogs got bombarded over the weekend by a determine trackback spammer.

I used to use Movable Type, but the comment spamming got completely out of hand. That´s one of the reasons why I migrated to Wordpress, because it offers comment moderation. Not just that, but the rebuilds in MT are quite annoying too. Anyway, besides comment moderation, there´s also a plugin to avoid comment spam for Wordpress, but I can´t remember where you can get it from. Additionally, I have blocked some IPs on the server level. It´s such a shame that we have to deal with comment spam, as if having the regular email spam was not enough...
