Akismet is running fine on my client's build - obvious spam comments are being put in spam queue for moderation. BUT they are also automatically displaying, as in this post:

Any ideas?
One thing of note: about a month ago I switched hosting for my client. This problem started happening well AFTER the switch, so I don't think the server switch caused some screws to fall loose.
And those two comments are marked as "spam" in the admin panel?

Yes...though now there are 13 spam comments showing up in that post (we delete them from time to time). They are marked as spam but showing up anyways.
Interestingly, there were just 2 real comments in held in moderation that I approved...so for some reason that is working.
I would try wp-spam free plugins

It's not a plugin issue (I've tried 5 different anti-spam plugins with the same results). It's probably something to do with the build and I don't know what it is.

I will be adding a captcha plugin to counteract this. I don't want to have to do this but it should stop spam.
Anyone else have an idea?
