Akismet marking my own trackbacks as spam

  • Hi. I use Akismet on my blog, and when I link to one of my other pages or posts, Akismet automatically marks that comment/trackback as spam. It’s not in the awaiting moderation queue, it’s in the caught spam list.

    How can I send spam to myself? Is it possible that I got put on a RBL before I installed Akismet? And more importantly, how can I get this resolved?

    Thanks for your assistance,
    Courtney

    Just mark them as not spam. Akismet (eventually) learns from it’s mistakes, if you give it a chance. But it can take a while.

    Hi,

    We moved to a self hosted blog and installed Akismet over 6 months ago.

    From day #1, each time we trackback to our own posts, Akismet catches it as spam requiring us to un-spam it.

    One would hope that Akismet would have learned by now.

    Is there anything which we have done which has caused Akismet to think ill of us?

    Cheers
    Martyn
