How Do You Cope With SPAM Comments!?

Ya, I was getting alot, turned mine all off. Dont get comment spam anymore but sure wish I could turn off the trackback pings, any one know how to do that? Even have thought about complaining to the domains/hosting that keep pinging. Could it be threated as a dos attack? They are sure NOT relavent and they never have links, they just ping. Just tired of the ping messing up my stats as they are not hits.

Though a couple people have got me to thinking about trying some filters and such for spam, and yes, thanks for the link Walrus...

I also use movable type and love it, they do have the "type pad" registration you could try, I have'nt set it up myself yet, lazy, no time. But the surfer has to register to comment, wondering how it would work, if surfers would'nt take the time to register.
