Hi Phil,

In the latest version of Akismet (1.11),
line 72, which sets the akismet host, reads:

$ksd_api_host = get('wordpress_api_key') . 
'.rest.akismet.com';

So they key is encoded into the connection 
rather than being passed as a parameter, and is 
therefore available for the server to check.

Whether or not the key _is_ checked by the 
server I'll have to leave to Matt to confirm.
