Bug in Akismet? Comments are held for appoval

WordPress 2.7 and Akismet 2.2.3

After upgrading to WordPress 2.7, for some reason, comments are now held for approval before being posted.

I looks like it only affects comments from people that have not commented before.

I’ve tried checking my settings under SETTINGS >> DISCUSSION:

Under “Before a comment appears”

I have NOT checked “Before a comment appears An administrator must always approve the comment”

I have NOT checked “Comment author must have a previously approved comment”

I HAVE checked “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail”

But I have NOT checked “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”

My WordPress.com API Key is VALID.

The comments does NOT contain links or anything other than text.

Help?

I did not have the same problem, before upgrading to WordPress 2.7, and to the best of my knowledge, I have not changed ANY settings in Akismet (but, as you can see, I’ve checked the settings none the less).

As always, any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance ??
