Use Q&As at registration. You can also make a usergroup for new members and force the Q&A for their first 10 posts.

Make the questions like: What's four plus 3? (7 or seven)
What's the third word in this sentence? (third)

Just make them easy for your members, but hard for bots.

And use this StopForumSpam integrated plugin;

Also you should ban certain e-mail servers, like "spammers@ru.com" etc...
