-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Dada Mail (Justin Simoni) [mailto:dada@skazat com] Verzonden: donderdag 2 februari 2006 8:55 Aan: alfred@alfsoft com Onderwerp: [dadadev] Yet Another New Feature for 2 10 6: Confirmation Sent Check

Heya,

I'm still waiting word from my hosting company to get Dada Mail up and running and I've just been noodling with some more ideas One often requested feature is a list of email addresses that confirmation emails have been sent out to, but haven't been confirmed Another is a check, so that no more than one email confirmation is sent at one time per email address - basically, so someone doesn't click, "Subscribe", or refresh the, "Confirm Your Subscription" a million times and cause a mini DOS attack on the poor server, releasing untold copies of the same confirmation email

These two features are complimentary - as you need the first to make the second work

So, I sort of got that feature up and running and this will be a feature in 2 10 6 - it'll most likely be off by default and when it's off, Dada Mail will work just like it did before

This feature appeals to me, because it closes up a slight whole in the confirmation process - it's now harder to abuse the confirmation system

Yeah!
