Akismet is an WordPress 2.x plugin, which helps in protecting your site from Spaming. When a new comment, trackback, or pingback comes to your blog it is submitted to the Akismet web service which runs hundreds of tests on the comment and returns a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Before Akismet I was spending more time deleting spam than creating content. Now I can focus on actually blogging! — Sarah King

Akismet is free for personal use. All you need to start using it today is a WordPress.com API key. Sign up on WordPress.com to get an API key.
