akismet has stopped working

My akismet has stopped working today.

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in/home/gmo/public_html/plugins/akismet/Akismet.class.phpon line 362

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to 1121c36c98d8.rest.akismet.com:80 (php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known) in/home/gmo/public_html/plugins/akismet/Akismet.class.phpon line 362
32

Has anyone else experienced this?

Have checked and Akismet is running.

When I go to:

1121c36c98d8.rest.akismet.com

(port 80) I also get a response.

Maybe check your Akismet API key is still valid? You can do this by going to AntiSpam Tools -> Akismet

Maybe check a telnet to port 80 of the URL above, which is what your server is trying to connect to on the fsockopen?

 Thanks but I know all about that.

The akismet is turned off in the settings and I'm still getting this error at the top.

My akismet account is valid and working for all my other sites.

It looks like some DNS issue on your server, try to ping 1121c36c98d8.rest.akismet.com hostname to see if it is resolving.

 Thanks, I did check that.

Which seems fine now, I must have had some DNS glitch that day.

Checking it today; it is working correctly.
