i have noticed since adding the api key that most images newly added to galleries go to pending approval and are marked as possible spam

Not seeing the same issue here, got a collection of the images that are failing so I can test them on my site?

My guess would be it triggered too many similaraities with spam filenames.
* All of the filenames are the same ones that digital cameras make and have not been renamed to human readable ones
* All of the filenames end with .JPG.jpg which is weird. (They all HAVE been renamed, but only to put a double extension on the end.... sort of weird.)

ah that is odd and the double extention is a typical virus trick, but usually its like .jpg.exe or something..
