Blacklisting
I just upgraded to the latest WPBlacklist for comment spam filtering. I’ve set fairly aggressive deletion options because I’m sick of having to do the deletions manually. It’s possible that you may end up having comments deleted if your IP appears on a real-time blacklist server for whatever reason. If that happens, sorry, but I really don’t get enough comments to make the spam worth the effort of deleting.
If this doesn’t work as well as I’m hoping it will, comments will be switched off until WordPress 1.3 with its better plugin hooks comes along and spam filtering plugins can get fancier.
So it clearly blocks spam well. Does it let real comments through?

Can I comment?
Yes I can.
