There are almost 11 months from when i started to use Defensio and Mollom side by side on this blog to protect it from spam comments. And here are some results:
Total spam records: 747
Note that i use the free version of Mollom so it does not provide any guarantees on performance and that may be the reason for 285 of the "no answers" from their server.
Still, based on this results i would say that for my particular blog Defensio got to be a MUCH better spam filter.
Did anyone else used any of this 2 or any other solutions and have results to share?
UPDATE: What i REALLY like about Mollom is how willing are they to help. So was when i was creating the plugin and so is now when they contacted me in order to find out what/where the issue may be and to help me to improve the plugin if/where needed or to give advices how better to use returned results. Way to go guys!!!

We'd like to work with you and the Coldfusion plugin author to make sure that Mollom is providing you correct results. If you would, please visit http://mollom.com/contact and fill out a simple support request (cut and pasting from your blog post above), so that we can track this issue and give you automatic e-mail updates.
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.
The fact is that because i use them side by side i made it block all comments that are marked as spam by either Defensio OR Mollom. So there are less chances spam to pass through and for cases like yours where a valid comment will be marked as spam it's easy enough to un-mark it because such cases are VERY rare, actually i think there was only a couple over all this period.
What about the results, i will contact you directly and if needed will be able to provide details about all "spam records".
