See our FAQ on this matter: HELP, I'm still seeing comment spam There are two common issues that make reCAPTCHA appear to be broken, but are actually not problems. * Moderation emails: reCAPTCHA marks comments as spam, so if you get moderation emails when spam comments are sent, you will get moderation emails for all spam comments with reCAPTCHA. We highly recommend turning off moderation emails with reCAPTCHA. * Trackbacks and Pingbacks: reCAPTCHA can't do anything about pingbacks and trackbacks. You can disable pingbacks and trackbacks in Options | Discussion | Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks). Hi,

HELP, I’m still seeing comment spam

There are two common issues that make reCAPTCHA appear to be broken, but are actually not problems.

* Moderation emails: reCAPTCHA marks comments as spam, so if you get moderation emails when spam comments are sent, you will get moderation emails for all spam comments with reCAPTCHA. We highly recommend turning off moderation emails with reCAPTCHA.
* Trackbacks and Pingbacks: reCAPTCHA can’t do anything about pingbacks and trackbacks. You can disable pingbacks and trackbacks in Options | Discussion | Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks).
