Source Free Anti Spam Plugin Antispam Bee For Wordpress

Up until recently we have been using the Wordpress plugin Akismet for anti spam protection. Akismet is supplied with every Wordpress installation and needs to be enabled with an api key that is freely available after registering an account at the Wordpress website. There have been a few problems with Akismet's anti-spam scanner in recent months mainly that a handful of legit comments were moved into the spam folder by the plugin.
Other concerns were that Akismet was not really a free anti spam plugin as webmasters who made more than $500 per month had to order a commercial version for $55 a year. The last concern was probably the most important one as data is send to Akismet servers including the commenter's IP, user agent or referrer.
