My client wants to send email announcements and reports for customers. Now. The python-side code doesn't seem too hard but there's the rest of the story. What do I require in order to send such emails that won't end up getting blocked by email servers and clients? ...

I'm creating a public internet facing website which contains the email address of their salespeople. What kind of programming options do I have to generate the "mailto" and display the email from that address but limit the spambots from picking up the address? ...
I ran across Tour de Flex a couple days ago. It's a demo that showcases all the Flex controls, with cross-references to source and references. It's a great way to get an idea of the resources available, and how to use them. Not a question, but a useful resource since I've seen a number of Flex/Actionscript questions here. (Note that I'...

I provided some of my programs with a feedback function. Unfortunately I forgot to include some sort of spam-protection - so users could send anything they wanted to my server - where every feedback is stored in a huge db. In the beginning I periodically checked those feedbacks - I filtered out what was usable and deleted garbage. Th...
There are some really good questions already on spam issues. I am planning to launch a service that has the word "bitch" in the service name and the domain name. I am wondering if this word, which is not such a faux pas in today's society, will cause me problems navigating spam filters even if I follow best practices. Related to keywor...
Hello everyone, I've written a bug reporter for my game, and after it launches, the user can review the data and submit the report to my web server via HTTP. If the submission fails, the user has the option to save the report and try again later, using the bug reporter itself, uploading the file with a web form, or attaching the report...
I have a logging system where some events are repeated infinitely. for example: 12:03 - Restart attempted 12:03 - Restart failed 12:02 - Restart attempted 12:02 - Restart failed 12:01 - Restart attempted 12:01 - Restart failed This might go on for days. I imagine there are standard ways that systems deal with spammy events like this. ...
Recently I was configuring sendmail on a new linux server install and there was a configuration problem. I was given a link to a website that had the image of a rooster on it and told to consult them for configuration problems. I cant remember the url of the site, but it's apparently a well-known one. Can someone here remind me of wha...

My customer sometimes receives "spam" messages on their BizTalk file drop locations i.e files not of the type expected by the receive location filter eg a .doc instead of a .xls. The file adaptor does not have an option to delete such "junk" - probably for good reason- , and we can not stop the sender of these files from occasionally sen...

Question is still OPEN... For IT people here it may be not so difficult question. May be not only at first look ;) All ideas are welcome! For startup Antispam project it is needed around 10000 spam mails per day and more. And also (for shingle algorithms) we need six and more modified mails for the same spam letter. Please, if you ha...
Technically this might not be classed as a programming question, since I have already implemented a solution. But it's an interesting issue in the tech field nonetheless. Anyway... I set up a basic contact form, without any spam protection. On discovering that it wasn't working, I ignored it and set up a Javascript to change all links p...
We have a client that can't receive emails from a dedicated server using PHP mail because when their SPAM server does an MX record lookup for the IP it can't find one (so it bounces the email). This is because the mail exchange is on a different server completely. The client said that they have an IP address that bypasses the SPAM bloc...

I'm building a website that needs to provide users with the ability to subscribe to new items in each category. So, potentially I'll have dozens of different mail lists, each with hundreds of subscribers. On a previous site, I built the mechanism myself and it worked well enough. I did fall foul of various spam filters and blacklists th...
