Dear Akismet, are you sending me spam? I now have you working within eight of my WordPress powered sites, and man have I been impressed by your spam crushing capabilities. On my Mudsugar website alone you have caught 29,186 spam. But wait a minute. I’ve noticed something weird on my last three Akismet installations. From the moment I activated your plugin you were already catching an abundance of spam at levels that I hadn’t seen prior to your activation.
