Once I've approved someone once their comments get through automatically. Otherwise I get an email with an "approve" "deny" link. Probably wouldn't work with a lot of fast moving comment threads.

I installed the Bad Behavior plugin for WordPress (http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/) and have had real good results with that.

This keeps your site’s load down, makes your site logs cleaner, and can help prevent denial of service conditions caused by spammers." I use that in addition to Akismet. With both of those running, Akismet catches the 3-5 spam comments that get through Bad Behavior, and I haven't had any that get through both. A while back I was dealing with a flood of comment spam.
