You need to check all of the following options under Dashboard -> Settings -> Discussion:
Before a comment appears
- Before a comment appears An administrator must always approve the comment
- Comment author must have a previously approved comment
Comment Moderation
- Hold a comment in the queue if it contains _ or more links. (A common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of hyperlinks.)
- When a comment contains any of these words in its content, name, URL, e-mail, or IP, it will be held in the moderation queue. One word or IP per line. It will match inside words, so “press” will match “WordPress”.
Also: do you have any comment-moderation or spam-prevention Plugins active?
