I did not sign up with Akismet. So I don't know what is going on but would like to know how I can stop this.

In my settings I do not have it set up to approve comments and I don't have any settings where for any type of spam either. I did not sign up with Akismet. So I don't know what is going on but would like to know how I can stop this. Even my own reply to a comment went to my spam. Any ideas?
