Akismet lets through a lot of very obvious spam and Defensio sends email notifications from spam comments. I have the latest versions of everything and I’m now in a point I have to consider switching to another blog software. I like Pixelpost a lot but the spam problem has been serious from the beginning and it hasn’t gotten any better.

I don’t know if Defensio is even suppose to work at the moment. Logging in to Defensio site gives the following error:

“Application error
Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html”

You need to search first. Update Defensio to the latest version. You obviously don't have it since Defensio does not email notifications when receiving SPAM comments flagged by Defensio. You can download the real latest version here http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addons/defensio-for-pixelpost/

Ow, and we are not Defensio so we cannot help you with the difficulties they are having.
