This plugin uses the Wordpress [[http://www.akismet.com|Akismet]] webservice to protect the Wiki against spam.

:!: After running this plugin for a while in the dryrun mode it proved to be pretty useless because of too many false positives. It is not recommended to use this plugin.  --- //[[andi@splitbrain.org|Andreas Gohr]] 2006-11-09 21:17//

===== Download =====

  * {{plugin:akismet-plugin-2006-11-09.tgz}} - bug fixed, should work now

===== Configuration =====

You need an API key, which you can get for free when [[http://wordpress.com/signup/|signing up]] at wordpress.com. Enter the key in the Config Manager or set it manually in your local.conf:

  $conf['plugin']['akismet']['apikey'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx';

To get notified when an edit is blocked fill your email address into the ''notify'' option.

  $conf['plugin']['akismet']['notify'] = 'you@example.com';

To enable the real blocking set ''dryrun'' to off. Otherwise you will only be notified but the edit will not be blocked.

  $conf['plugin']['akismet']['dryrun'] = 0;
