Askimet - can't see spam (5 posts)

    I am sure this has been covered, I just can't find it when I search the forums. I am running a fully up to date self hosted WordPress blog with the Askimet plugin installed. Every day I check the stats, and every day it seems that my spam counter grows, but I never have anything in my spam queue. I would like to ensure that I am not getting any false positives. Is there somewhere I haven't found, or something I haven't configured to be able to see all of the spam that is caught?

    They should just be in your spam queue. Do you have another antispam plugin perhaps?

    No, no other spam plugins. Basically, Askimet is telling me the following: "Akismet has protected your site from 66 spam comments already, but there's nothing in your spam queue at the moment."

    There has never been anything in my spam queue. I would like to have seen what it blocked to ensure it wasn't getting a false positive.

    I am also getting this error.

    I want to see what the spam is before it decides to delete it.

    I have Askimet and reCAPTHCA

    On WordPress 2.9.2
