Could you explain how any of these programs help? To my knowledge All of these programs put your spam in a separate folder for you to go through. If this is not the case (I’ve never used any of these plugins) could you explain what exactly they do with the spam? Do these plugins take it upon themselves to delete it? That would be fine, accept even email can’t do that properly yet. There are always those few that get incorrectly marked.

If what I am believing is however true and they don’t delete the spam, how exactly does this help the database size at all?

Indeed Akismet is one of the best solution for the spam, however if you add wp-spamfree plugin as well – it will only help you. BTW, thanks for dropping by and I hope to see you regularly over here

You also should try out Antispam Bee, so you don't get even any Spam, ergo you don't have to delete any Spam anymore. Great Plugin!

Thanks for this! Quick question… what plugin and/or service do you use to add RSS feed footer details, like your ebook download, and copyright notice? thanks!
