I've gutted out all the stuff I'd tried adding to stop spam as universally ineffective, and have replaced it with CleanTalk's service.

A lot of people "talked up" how good ClearTalk is. I'm going to give it the week of free trial to see if it's worth buying. Eight bucks a year is piss in a barrel if it works.
I was very pleasantly surprised how well the package for SMF went in with no conflicts.
