[wp-hackers] WordPress Checking Own Pingbacks - Intended Behavior?

[Viper007Bond]

I disagree. This is an Akismet issue.

Your solution would be to avoid filtering local pingback/trackbacks. This is
bad and would break some plugins and would provide no way to filter them at
all.

Akismet needs to be smart enough to ignore ****backs from a local source.
