I use this on my WP site,
http://picklewagon.com/wordpress/new-user-approve/
Basically new users have to be approved, a pain in the rear yes but it
stopped all the Polish mobile O2 spammers that were getting on my site.
It sends an email to let you know somebody is requesting a registration
you simply approve or ignore, your choice, works for me
