Cleanup (or prevent) spammer email addresses #91

I have Akismet installed.

Currently, if I set in your plugin Options checkbox "Checked by default" to YES, all the spam comment emails are added to the StCR database. Akismet blocks those spam comments automatically.

Result: StCR collects lots of unexistant emails from spam comments.

Question: Besides making "Checked by default" = NO, is there any other solution for this problem?

Maybe you can implement a possibility to avoid Emails added to the StCR when Akismet classifies comment as a Spam?

Thank you, Augustas

So far the validation of comments with Akisment is not fully tested.

For now I recommend to enable the double check option, by enable this option the subscriber status is set to YC which means that he/she needs to confirm with the link sent to his email address.

If the subscription is not confirm in a period set on the Autopurge requests the subscription will be deleted automatically.
