I have Askimet set up to scan my site, but I am not sure if it is actually removing spam since I probably won't see the spam before it is removed, if it is removed.

My Askimet account has a diagram showing spam detection over time, but I am not sure what exactly it is doing, and wonder if it is being effective. It distinguishes "ham" and "spam" in the statistic report for my site, but I cannot find a definition of these terms at Askimet.

Of course JR does not have to explain Askimet, but if any other JR users are using Askimet, it would be good for me (and others) to know if and how it is working for you.

Thanks for help

If you have activated the Askimet part of the Spam Blocker module, then any newly created item will be sent off to akismet and checked to see if its spam or not. If Askimet returns that "Yes this is spam" then the item will be tagged as 'pending' and will appear to your admin users at
DASHBOARD -> PENDING -> (item type)

From there the admin can either approve or delete the offending item.
