Stop Forum Spam looks nice. It's great they're giving the data like this. In fact, I'm somewhat surprised there's no software download to self-host. Seems rather easy to make, given the data files.

Are there any other filters you recommend?

This was already my list of "approved" spamfilters :) I don't know any others that I like and are low in false positives.

I'm wondering how much a Hashcash implementation would help. The approach doesn't seem to be widely attempted. Maybe because we assume spammers are using botnets anyway and don't care about computational cost?
