Problem with spam control
Posted by Abravanel, the Blog στο 11/11/2007
Akismet, which controls spam, seems to be having some trouble. I may see the number of spam stopped increasing but I don’t see anything appearing on the Akismet mod queue to review if it’s really spam or not. If you did comment and you don’t see you comment appearing please email me – thanks and sorry. :(

I have the same issue and posted about it a while ago but just to say that Askimet rarely gets it wrong. I have checked through 1000’s of spam messages and I think I only ever found one that was a mistake. I don’t even check now. I just hit delete!
Make sure you set your url limit. If you set it (like I do) to 1 and you get a lot of comments with more than one url link in it, Askimet will identify that as spam…
Hope this helps…welcome to the big time ;-)

I must admit that until now Akismet had done pretty well. It’s just that I hate having no control over things that get deleted, especially since in theory I should have the chance to review them first.
In any case thanks for the tip! :)
