  Why does akismet say it has caught 273 spam, but I have only 11 comments caught as spam in my comments tab?

  Hi Michelle. The discrepancy between your Akismet stats and your comment box is due to the fact that exact duplicates of spam emails are hidden.

  Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
