Gar!
The MT people were morons for removing blacklist from their newest version. Whatever they use built in now to try and reduce spam sucks. I raise the aggressiveness of the spam filter, and it junks actual comments, I lower it, and it alls all sorts of crap through. It was just perfect before, and I rarely got spam. Gar! Now I feel like I'm back to the version from several years ago.
One, I'm never upgrading again. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Though in this case, it's just broke it seems.
Two, I think I will have to start using the 'trusted commenters' function so comments from all of you can actually get through, while hopefully allowing me to up the spam filter to junk everything else.

I moved it back down to 0 and then got spammed within the hour, so I moved it up to +1.

I'll take another look at MT-Keystrokes - I think maybe that when you raised the aggressiveness, maybe that mimicked an MT-Keystroke failure - at least, in my case, since I made the test comments, and I got blocked.
Pondering....
