UPDATE : The extension is now working properly. I finally found out the way the spam both bypass the check of the plugin and fixed it !
The principle is simple : When someone posts a message on your forum, the Kunena Spam Killer plugin will be trigged. The plugin will use Akismet service to check whether this message is posted by a spammer. If Yes, the forum post will be unpublished. Also, a notification email will be sent to administrator and a confirmation email will be sent to users to inform them about this spam message. Administrator can go to the back-end of the component, see list of spam messages . If he sees a message which is not a spam, he can publish it and the message will be showed on your forum.
Features
1. Auto detect and un-publish any spam messages on your forum as soon as it is posted by spammers.
2. Send notification email to administrator and confirmation email to spammer when a spam message is detected (You can turn off sending emails feature in configuration the extension).
3. Auto add users to trusted list if there is no spam detected in his forum post (this is configurable) . If a user is in trusted list, when he post a new message on your forum, the system will not have to connect Akismet to check for spam .
4. Auto add users to block list when spam detected in their forum posts. (this is configurable). If a user is in block list, when he post a new post on forum, the forum post will be unpublished automatically.
5. Auto block user and logout him if spam message is detected (this is configurable) .
6. Messages management which allow you to see list of messages from back-end of the extension . You can then publish the messages if it is not a spam message .
7. Spammers management which allow you to see lisf of spammers. If you see someone not a spammer in this list, you can publish this account so that he will not be blocked .
8. Configuration with many config options to make the extension flexible .
Easy to install - and very effective!
I have Kunena email me the posting and Spam Killer will email a notification if the post has been flagged as spam and unposted again...
Result: For spam postings I just check my email - don't have to login to the backend or do anything else... sweet!

Worked great for me - right out of the box it started harvesting the spam.
Like most plugins, you have to enable the plugin FIRST!!! After you install, go to EXTENTIONS->PLUGIN MANAGER and enable the plugin called SYSTEM - SPAM KILLER.
I am running on Joomla 1.5.22 and Kunena 1.5.12 and another site with Joomla 1.5.15 and Kunena 1.5.7 and BOTH work great!
Don't install Kunena without this Killer Plugin. Yes, it is free. Thanks very much to OSSolution Team.

This program is garbage and does not work in any way. The support link simply takes you to a forum with support for his paid mods and has nothing to do with this software. Is there no quality control in the extensions directory?

Hi
First of all, I tested it before submitting to the JED. However, It is human testing. That mean, I entered a sample of spam message and the plugin can found that It is a spam message. If you test the plugin by tring to post a spam message on your forum manually, the plugin does work .
However, the spam bot (actually, not human) by some ways can bypass this check. That's the reason why the plugin does not work .
Currently, I am still trying to find a solution for this problem. So please be patient and wait me to find a solution before writing these bad reviews.
I will update it here when I can fix the plugin.
Thanks ,
Tuan
I agree, i currently have this installed and it does not work at all. i got a cialus ad on my forums within an hour after activation... please take a look at the code to make sure its even checking Kunena...
