Would a spam filter - like Akismet - work for you?
Of course not.
First the cost of that service is 10 times more than the cost of the "final service" sold the the customer :).
Also, with all "third party" solutions(Like aksimet) there's a big big problem:
from the FAQ:
--------
How does it work?
When a new comment, trackback, or pingback comes to your blog it is submitted to the Akismet web service ...
--------
No customer would ever agree to send it's complete data it collects from it's users to some unknonw 3rd party, just to filter the spam :).

Or maybe you can store the last time the comment form is posted in the session object and not let another one posted until some defined time passes. I'm sure it's not foolproof though.
Most bots reopen a new connection (thus a new session) for each submit (at least this is what all the logs show): in fact I haven't seen one that does not :).
Any ideas for other strategies?
Thnx.
