Typical! It stopped right after I posted to the list. But it lasted for 
about 3 hours. Started about 5.5 hrs ago. For example, I went afk for 
about 45 mins and came back to 43 posts in the queue - only 3 of which 
were genuine.

If Akismet has a problem, is the forum configured to drop everything 
into the spam queue? Pretty sure I've seen that happen on a blog before now.
