• Yes, the same happens since some days with my blog here. :(
  

• I don't see any spam at all lately (*knocks on wood*)
  
  It might be good to enable comment moderation and set it to always, so you always have to moderate the comments. This will filter out the unwanted crap. also disable trackbacks, which is the main source of blogspam. trackbacks are hardly useful nowadays anyway, as they're massive used for blogspam.
  

• I totally agree with this....!!
  
  i do have a same problem and it seems that spam messages are in Russian and auto generated.
  

• Not to mention all the ping back spam as well! and those are getting auto approved
  

• I ended up turning off the trackbacks, forgot you could do that. I have it setup so the only comments auto approved now are from other weblogs.asp.net accounts. It still boggles my mind that the spam filtering isn't updated on any sort of a frequent basis to block all the automated posts though.
  

• I agree, it's a problem.
  
  Say, would you like to buy a 'Rolecks' watch?
  

• You could move your blog to Blogspot. Mine doesn't get spammed except once by Cash4Gold.
  

• ^^^
  Speaking of spam....
  

• Stephen, apparently turning off trackbacks only effects new posts, gotta figure out how to turn it off for existing posts
  

• Just close down commenting on blog. Or you can use akismet api?
