Years ago I moderated a forum and found any and all of the following can help
- IP blacklists preventing registration
- CAPTCHA at registration time
- Email confirmation at registration time

- Run through akismet before posts are posted (you could probably get spamassassin to do this too?)
- Extremely ruthless blocking
