Thanks again...

This is good as it lets the person know you are linking to one of their articles/posts. In the case of your own blog, it presents another way for people to perhaps get to the other article you linked to in your post. Some people like them and some do not. I typically leave them on and then delete the trackback on my own posts to sort of keep things clean. That allows others to link to your articles/posts and then you will get a trackback notification that they have linked to you, and links from outside sources are always good for search engine ranking.

If you want to turn tack backs off, go to settings > discussion and click un-ckeck the top item and save changes.

So the comment was supposed to appear (I believe there may be an option for it, but can't quite recall). It's up to you whether you want to publish it, it just helps people navigate from IEEE post to a related one.

I noticed on the weekend, that as soon as I published a post, I got a comment, that was posted by me, and the IP is WordPress's own IP, the publicize to Facebook didn't work either.
I've moved this comment into trash

is there a malware on the server? or a bot hiding there?

If you've visited my jmnartsy blog, you will notice that there are no replies to any comments; this is the way I prefer it. I reply to comments via my hotmail email account directly to each commenter's email address; that is what I was referring to. In other words, a hack!

From where I'm sitting, someone who knows what they're doing has done this as my hotmail account is fine (it too is an HTTPS connection). However, this did prompt my memory as I had noticed, just on that blog, recently one or two spam comments that were using text directly from my Gravatar profile. I had dismissed this and had deleted those spam comments, but since then have updated the profile as I had forgotten that I'd placed my hotmail email address there as a public email. I have now removed that address and also added another verified services link (my Google+ profile) and refreshed a few other elements therein. I trust this will solve the problem and thank the engineer who provided this very important prompt -- never give out any personal details online, ever!

This looks like a pingback to me, but how has it happened?

It is possible to pingback yourself if you link to posts on your blog.

There was also one comment reply appearing on my jmnartsy blog, which was a direct copy of an emailed reply I made to someone else's comments!!

Replying to a comment via email actually does not go to the comments, it is instead placed as a reply comment on your blog.

As I am working in my jmnpixels bog right now, a notification arrives. I look at it and it tells me that I have a comment waiting in jmnpixels. I look at the comment and here is what I saw:

I don't want to stop the pings. I am happy to use them.
My question is more to do with the approval process. Is there a setting that I can automatically approve my own pingbacks, in the same way that I automatically approve comments.

However when I link my own blog posts from within my admin area I have approve each time. This does not seem particularly logical.

Times might have something to do with it.
You have a post on the Jack Cade blog called The Nameless Things published 20 Aug. 2012 at 12:34am which is essentially a link to the poem of the same title on the Poetry Matthew etc. blog. It shows a pingback on the same date, but at 6:36 am. I cannot see what time the post itself was published there though.
