How this module works

Akismet is a web service that analyses comments and decides whether they are spam. Each time a visitor submits a comment or a guestbook entry, the module sends it to Akismet and evaluates the answer.

1. Get an API key at akismet.com
2. Enter the API key in the module settings
3. Choose what happens to spam

Please note that Akismet requires a paid plan for commercial websites.

Settings

• Akismet API key
• Mode: off, moderate or reject. With "moderate" the comment is saved, but only published after your approval.
