It as been a couple of days since Akismet marks as spam any comment I leave on any blog who protect himself from spam through it. Pings and trackbacks seem to do the same end.

I tried to rise up their attention in two ways:

1. the contact form, from where I asked their help;
2. asking my friend to manually mark as “not spam” the comments I leave, so that they should receive a certain number of so called false positive;

.

Mark, from Akismet’s support, asked me to leave a comment here and mail him back; I did it twice in the last two days, but I still haven’t received any reply.

Giovy pointed out that my ip is listed on the Spamhaus’ Policy Block List (PBL), but it doesn’t seem to be the point.
As I read in FAQs:

The first thing to know is: THE PBL IS NOT A BLACKLIST. You are not blacklisted for spamming or for anything you have done. The PBL is simply a list of ALL of the world’s dynamic broadband IP space

and also:

Most people should not remove “their” IP address from the PBL! If you are a home user and you connect to the Internet with cable, DSL, wireless, satellite, or dial-up access, you probably have no reason to remove your IP.

At the moment I don’t really know what else should I do. I’m writing this post in English hoping that someone at Akismet read it and help me. I know it’s Easter, but I hope you, or anyone can help me will reply as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance.

Mark kindly repelied:

Hi,
I am really sorry - your comments should now be good. If you have a problem still I will deal with it very promptly. I am sorry this took so long to resolve for you.

Now, anything seems to work properly again. Thank you.
