There used to be an akismet campfire, how about reviving this into a typepad antispam one?

There already is a Symphony 2 Extension for Akismet: http://symphony21.com/forum/discussions/61/1/. Since the TypePad spam service is 100% compatible with Akismet, it would be trivial to alter it. Just grab a TypePad API key instead of the WP API key, and alter the Extension to make requests to TypePad instead. Line 107 of /extensions/akismet/lib/akismet.curl.class.php has

    $this->urls = array(
                'verify' => 'rest.akismet.com/'. $this->api_version
                         . '/verify-key',
                'check_spam' => $this->api_key. '.rest.akismet.com/'
                             . $this->api_version. '/comment-check',
                'submit_spam' => $this->api_key. '.rest.akismet.com/'
                              . $this->api_version. '/submit-spam',
                'submit_ham' => $this->api_key. '.rest.akismet.com/'
                             . $this->api_version. '/submit-ham'
                );

So I guess you can alter that.
