 * Your key will be correct.
 * The error message is because Akismet cannot access the Akismet server. The problem
   is one of three:
 * – either Akismet is being denied access to the internet if you are hosted locally
   behind a firewall, or
 * – the server you are on lacks the ‘fopen’ function which Akismet needs.
 * – your host might need to know that the default-installed SELinux security precautions(
   on Fedora4) causes this problem. With SELinux disabled, it works.
 * – ask your host if they mod_chroot enabled. If they do, that is what has caused
   Akismet not to work. They will be able to advise on what they can do for you.
 * Do talk to your host and see if there is anyway they can help.
