[wp-hackers] WordPress Checking Own Pingbacks - Intended Behavior?

[Callum Macdonald]

Interesting, I always considered that internal pingbacks shouldn't 
appear at all, but I suppose they could be useful in some way.

I agree, if they're going to be posted, they should bypass spam 
checking. Will that need to be a change in Akismet or a change in WP? Is 
there a way to exclude something from spam checking? (I haven't looked 
into that part of the code).

Cheers - Callum.
