Thanks for the suggestion, but when I make that change, I get email again.

Jon, to me it’s updating (at least with valid trackback / pingbacks).

Try changing the line which reads:
wp_set_comment_status($comment_ID, 'delete');

And put:
wp_set_comment_status($comment_ID, 'spam');
instead.

I like this hack, but is there a way to eliminate the email while still allowing the “trackback_graph” to be updated?

So I just saw this link in my latest activity list. Could you post a diff from the original source? I’d love to see what exactly you did to get it to work without modifying WP itself.
