All these fancy-shmancy captcha routines seem like overkill to me. Here's a much simpler implementation that I purely admire: http://geekministry.com/blog_article.php?id=93 ...Continue Reading

Hello everyone - This is a heads-up that I'll be taking a break from, well, life between June 30th and August 5th, 2007 to ride my bicycle from Canada to Mexico in ~30 days. I'll be camping along the way and basically Dharma-Bumming it. I will be almost totally unplugged, so don't expect me to be able to help on anything, no matter how much of an emergency it is. Saying that, if you do have a project that needs my hand in it, for example: sponsorship on a new feature, installation, etc, now's the time to ...Continue Reading

A big issue with moderation and a lot of the dada_bridge.pl authentication stuff (is the person who's mailing to the list allowed to, and if so - in what circumstances?) is that it gets quite complicat ...Continue Reading

I know there was some discussion a while back, but I lost track, and forgot that it changed. What is the current status of moderation? Did an option ever get added to put it back they way it was? i.e. to allow a group of emails to post to a list? If not, is there a "best way" to achieve this? Or am I pretty much stuck with sending them the web page to send a list message from? Thanks,-Joe Post: mailto:dadadev@PROTECTED Unsubscribe: http://mojo.skazat.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/u/[list]/ List Information: ...Continue Reading

Good news CAPTCHA fans - I was able to implement the reCAPTCHA: http://recaptcha.net/ web service into Dada Mail, so now you have two choices for your CAPTCHA needs. Some nice things about this new system: You don't need the GD Library installed on your server - if the, "Send a Webpage" screen works in Dada Mail, so will this. This service also has an audio option, so that'll help sight- challenged people. Attached are two screenshots, showing the default CAPTCHA system and reCAPTCHA. You can ch ...Continue Reading

I don't mind this idea - I think it's a great one. If not, "removed" from the bounce scorecard, at least deducted some points from. The problem is, when you ...Continue Reading

Know what ? Your comment made me think of John Maynard Keynes (1883– 1946), British economist : "Long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead." Your assumption is that all bounces are equal. When actually they are not. A "Domain ...Continue Reading
