Movable Type spam filter not so great

Remember yesterday (I remember it like it was yesterday, which it was) when I I thought I had the spam problem in Movable Type 4 under control? Well, today I find about five obvious spam messages -- with URLs and everything -- in the non-spam comments.

And worse, a comment from an AUTHENTICATED TYPEKEY USER was marked as spam? If anything, a Typekey comment should post immediately -- that's how I have the system set. I immediately marked the commenter as "trusted," which means his future comments should have no problem getting posted.

But how could the MT spam filter let me down that way? A Typekey comment? I repeat: A TYPEKEY COMMENT. Unbelievable.

Obviously, I'll need to keep an eye on the situation.
