I have a blog that gets the usual spam, which Akismet is pretty good with. Not good enough for me to turn off moderation just yet.
I am wondering is there a way to “whitelist” a list of readers so their comments can skip moderation and just get posted?

Uncheck An administrator must always approve the comment
Check Comment author must have a previously approved comment
This way comments from people (identified by combination of name, email and site) who have previously approved comments will not require moderation. Rest of comments will.
