Hi.
Rookie question. I've installed the Antispam module following the INSTALL.txt instructions:
1. Create the folder 'modules/antispam'
2. Copy all modules files, keeping directory structure, to the
folder 'modules/antispam'
3. Enable the antispam module in 'admin/modules'
4. Visit 'admin/settings/antispam' and enter your API key for the
selected antispam service provider.
You may wish to review and adapt the other options to suit
your needs.
5. Check new permissions added by this module at 'admin/access'.
6. You're done.
The problem is, I'm stuck at 4. I have an Akismet API key, but I cannot find the place to enter the key. Please help.
Thanks...Paul

did you visit admin/settings/antispam, and if the key doesn't have a field there, what is there ?
Did you enable one of the services modules? ie: akismet
Hi VM, thanks for your
Hi VM, thanks for your reply.
When navigating to 'admin/settings/antispam', I'm getting page not found.
I've enabled the antispam module, and according to the instructions, that was all I needed to do.
Thanks...Paul

The above, talks about a service provider. That said, if there are service provider submodules, i'd expect one has to be enabled otherwise there'd be no need for an admin page to enter the api key.
I'd also work with the documentation linked to the project page http://www.pixture.com/drupal/node/76 perhaps that will aid in clearing up the issue.
I'd also take a look at every menu item in the administration area as it's possible the path to the admin page changed and didn't make it to the README.txt file.
Permissions
Are you logged in as user 1? If not, make sure you have "administer antispam settings" permission before going to step 4.

Thank you, yelvington. That was exactly what I needed to do. Thank you soooooooo much :)
