Good captchas that are effective are difficult to read which is hassle for people who want to legitimately post a comment (I hate them personally). They also don't stop people posting spam; they just create a hurdle for bots. With that said, it is an effective measure of cutting it down but I hate them!I would suggest the addition of a captcha (image containing letters to deter spam messages).
With Wordpress I use Askimet which is very effective and GPL. I still have to go through weekly and clear out the flagged spam but its a very quick process.
