When I enable Defensio I get the warning:

"WARNING: Your API Key doesn't seem to be valid!"

Akismet and TypePad work fine.

Are you using a correct API key for the domain?

The defensio API key is valid only with the domain (host name) you entered when you genereate the API key. You can not use the same API key with other domains (which will end up with this warning).

Also, when you accidentally add extra leading/trailing space when you enter the API key, the warning message will appear.

Please check these first.

Thanks,

It was an extra space at the end (I thought I cleared that before.)

I will add the code to trim any extra leading/trailing space before storing it to the database.
