GerstnerUSA,
Some of my settings may differ from others, it depends mostly on the amount of security that you need. This is my one and only mod for stopping bad registration. The only other thing that I use is Solve Media but that is to help generate a little revenue! So spammers give it your best shot, I make money every time you try.

This may be long, but maybe it will help others as well. I will not note everything because it is user preference.

First Akismet is for Blogs:

Enabled
Post Count: 5
Enter your key
Easy Cleanup: Yes

Stop Forum Spam IP Check: Enabled
User Name Check: Disabled (This setting may vary from user to user)
Email Check: Enabled
Desired Action: Log and Block Registration

Query Connection Errors: This one may vary from user to user as well. If the SFS database is down or unable to retrieve records you have two options. I Allow registration even if it means I may have to both remove them, block the IP and or E-mail. Always do a search before you block an IP!!

Remote Expiry: Another one that users may have set different. I have mine set to 30 but if you are having consistent a consistent problem you may want to set it higher. Just remember that if you do innocent people could have a problem being issued a dynamic address that a spammer used before them.

SFS Key:

Easy Clean Up: Yes

I used the Newbies Manager group once but I currently have it disabled. It is a good feature to turn on if you are having persistent problems. You may read about it here: http://forums.glowhost.com/programmi...ager-2382.html

I also currently have Auto Moderation Disabled.

The next few I don't even use at the time being. They primarily have to do with the Newbies group. However, there are a few more options that I do have enabled, but the list is pretty long.

See if your current settings are set up similar to mine. Maybe this will fix your issue.
