I feel your pain – Akismet did this to me a month ago. In my case, I emailed them, and they sorted it out in a day. I suspect that spammers may be harvesting the blogger’s own details, and then using those to post their spam. Nasty little critters.
Akismet is playing up at Troppo too now. It never missed spam in around 16,000 attempts. Let about ten spam comments get through in the last few days.
