Buffistas Building a Better Board ++
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Dammit. They found the 'email the admins' page.
I swear, the "Mission: Impossible" theme went through my head at that.
I left Natter loaded with this as the last post: Topic!Cindy "Natter 39 and Holding" Oct 14, 2005 3:06:46 pm PDT
I just came back, and hit the message center link at the bottom of the page, and got the following error message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/classes/email.php on line 51
Fixed now.
Okay -- I've double-triple checked we can't be used as a relay. However, I can't think of a way to reliably weed out the bastards.
If they're using the 'e-mail admins" form, can we capture their IP address? Would that do us any good, or is it likely to be fake?
Can we stop b.org return addresses from being accepted?
I can embed that information into the e-mails. Let's see if anything comes of it.
As for blocking b.org addresses -- dammit, I hate those kids. We shouldn't have to do that. There are legit (though avoidable) reasons to accept b.org addresses.
We shouldn't have to do that.
Yeah, I know.
Although, thinking about the e-mail form a bit, do we need it, as opposed to just using a mailto link? The form is nice because is fills in the user's default e-mail address, but most of the messages we get are from people who either aren't Buffistas yet, or have forgotten their username or password, and therefore aren't logged in anyway. For them, the form doesn't really provide any more functionality than a mailto would, does it?
The form means that people who don't have access to their e-mail clients can still send messages to the admins.
