It looks like I installed Akismet just in time. I installed it after 3 bad spams, and I just checked my spam folder and 48 spam comments were posted today. No false positives yet.

What Lis said. You’ll get a few real comments marked as spam and a few genuine spam comments it won’t be sure of. For the most part though, I’ve found it fairly accurate and hassle-free. At any rate, nobody’s mailed me asking irately why I’m not letting their comments through. Course, I don’t have my email on the blog.

You don’t have to get people to email you – just check the spam folder – you will get quite a few false positives – Ive had blogs of mine flagged before – it only seems to take someone to spam you for no good reason and you are askimet toast!

OK, I feel threatened. Intelligent SPAM filter usually filter 100% of my postings. Oh my… but well, let’s see what Akismet will do with THIS very posting here.
