This may be part of the increased spam coming through. I don't know to what extent Akismet's API works in GlowHost's Spamomatic but it doesn't seem to be blocking a lot of the spam that's been hitting recently. Perhaps the spammers who target blogs - the type Akismet has probably the most data on - are different to the forum spammers.
