Akismet does it! Comments are open again!
It turns out I was wrong regarding Akismet’s poor spam filtering capabilities.
I realized my version of WordPress was rather old, and so was the Akismet plugin.
To solve my 200 daily spam problem, I simply upgraded WordPress and the Akismet plugin. Best of all, it only took 15 minutes, including backup of data files, config, and DB.
note: It helps that I have a test server (macbook) with an exact duplicate of my “live” WP installation.
