Pull the HTTP client from the service, and check to see what you've sent
and what the actual response was:

$client = $akismet->getHttpClient();

echo "Request: ", $client->getLastRequest(), "\n\n";
$response = $client->getLastResponse();
echo "Response: ", $response->getBody(), "\n";

If the service is consistently returning a true response to the isSpam
call, you may need to contact the Akismet developers to determine why.
Regardless, having a log of some requests and responses to provide them
will help.
