Akismet (Automattic Kismet) is a widely used spam message filtering system. Its author is Matt Mullenweg, the founder of the famous WordPress. Akismet is also the default plugin installed by WordPress and is widely used, the design goal is to help blog websites filter messages spam. With akismet, you don't have to worry about spam. Akismet, which is used by most wordpress blogger, can be used on multiple blog platforms, not only WordPress, but also MovableType and PixelPost. The Mechanism is simply to say that after Akismet is enabled, after receiving a message, pingback, or trackback, the blog automatically submits the message to Akismet and compares it with the Akismet blacklist, if it is listed in the blacklist, the message or trackback will not be published. Of course, to avoid misjudgment, the information will not be deleted immediately, it is saved for further manual judgment by the blog manager. Generally, this period is 15 days, that is, within 15 days, the blog manager can restore it. Once this period expires, it will be deleted. When a blog manager marks it as Spam, The Akismet server will also update the content to add it to the Akismet blacklist, that is to say, this blacklist is maintained by a large number of blogs.
