Thanks for the work you put into this.
Still I think its strange that there are so many false positives with
akismet.
I'm using it for some forums and it barely gets one false positive
there.
Therefore I'm just guessing that its something special in the
trac-messages which makes it trigger which could be simply the
(default) name "anonymous" or something.

The way it stands now, akismet is unfortunately kinda useless for
spam-protection of trac installs.

Thanks for that. I got it to work and dns-blacklists together with the
external links filter are catching currently more than 99% of the spam.
I'm using the results in monitoring to train the bayes db.

Wouldn't it be a nice addition to the spamfilter page to get these
modules quickly to work?

May I suggest some simple improvements?
Would it be possible to have a way to "release" a ticket or message
from the monitoring if it was a false positive?
Also some way to "mark all" and/or to "mark as spam/ham and delete" in
one step would be nice.
Overall in 0.2 the spamfilter has made it much easier to work with.

Yeah that would be a great enhancement as currently one needs to
install the libraries two times.
