It's an amazing little piece of work that gets rid of nearly all the comment spam you're going to eventually get once the spam bots come across another fresh Wordpress site like yours. You can find a number of other useful plugins, such as the <a href="http://www.coldforged.org/plugins/" rel="nofollow">post spell checker</a>.
