  I woke up this morning to ~100 trackback/pingback messages in my e-mail. But ,they were all spam. Typically, Askimet finds these … what’s different? I went into to comment moderation and flagged them all as spam … by the time I was done, there was another 10 new ones!

  Unfortunately, I’m about to leave for 2 weeks away from a computer … I’m worried these are going to clog up my e-mail such that I’ll have problems.

  If anyone else has the same problem, maybe Askimet needs to be updated?

  Thanks

  Can someone please turn Akismet back on? :)

  Yeah, it’s horrible for me as well.

  If you add “/wp-content/” under options >> discussions >> whatever that spam option is then you can block them.

  Man, this is getting ridiculous. I’ve killed so many trackbacks today.
