Possibly a pre-check could be done based on length/keywords ("http" for
example)? In general it seems like there needs to be some method for
bypassing the spam checks (or at least the statistical ones). Perhaps
add a captcha as a secondary means of verification?

Hi,
unfortunately, I cannot comment on any tickets, anymore. There must be an
Akismet bug. This error also happened at trac-hacks. But after I registered and
logged in it did not show up, anymore. Probably it's related to anonymous user
postings. Could you please check p.e.c and trac-hacks?
Thanks!
I was able to comment on #2209 as an anonymous user but also found this
in the log on p.e.c:
2006-06-27 13:52:59,948 Trac[api] WARNING: Filter AkismetFilterStrategy
rejected content u'anonymous' submitted by "anonymous" (172.192.119.58):
Akismet rejected spam
2006-06-27 13:52:59,949 Trac[main] WARNING: 500 Internal Error (Akismet
rejected spam)
So I guess akismet is overloaded or something and sometimes respondes
with a "500 Internal Error"-message which we interpret as a positive
response and rejects the comment.
No, the error is because the spam filtering plugin raises an exception
when it's rejecting likely spam. Here Akismet is rating the content
"anonymous" as spam, which is occurring because Alec added the username
as content that should be checked for spam since the attachment spam was
using a large username full of spam URLs. Apparently Akismet isn't
working well with this change.
