  1. of course it does... by joeldg · · Score: 2, Interesting · on PHP Scales As Well As Java

    we use PHP here for huge web applications.. we have six servers pumping out one website and it connects to a redundant database server.

    The same system in java probably would not work, and if so would take up so many resources as to be no efficient.

    If you are interested in more examples of some somewhat crazy things you can do in PHP check here to see examples of using it on the commandline for ncurses (which I wrote the primary tutorials on zend.com for) and for handling sysv shared memory.

    Cheers

  2. best thing I have found by joeldg · · Score: 1 · on The Next Step In Spam Filtering

    I set up a whitelist after getting hundreds of spam per day and trying every filter and this and that.

    It was just ridiculous.

    the filter points people to my captcha, which is here and they have to type in "I am not a spammer" and then the letters in the graphic.

    The amazing part is, I have actually had spammers complete this process (by hand obviously) trying to get their email to me..

    Anyway, the system I use is opensourced here if anyone wants to set one up.

  5. makes me wonder about my project by joeldg · · Score: 1 · on MailBlocks sues Earthlink over Anti-Spam Tech

    I am writing a project called "honeymail" ( http://lucifer.intercosmos.net/index.php?display=h oneymail )
    I am now thinking maybe I should look into a few of the laws before I get to release 0.1

  6. anti-spam server by joeldg · · Score: 2, Informative · on FTC vs. Open SMTP Relays

    For those of you interested I posted more code for the honeymail project.
    honeymail
    Which is an anti-spam opensource forked SMTP server.

  7. reverse checking on senders address by joeldg · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Spam, Milord

    I am writing a SMTP server which has a plugin called "reverse" which goes and checks the "mail from:" address to see if it is valid.
    http://lucifer.intercosmos.net/index.php?display=h oneymail it is not finished yet, but hopefully it will keep only people with real email addresses able to send email.
    And yes, it does store known "good" emails in shared memory so that all child processes can have access and know which emails are already allowed to send email.
    The project is called honeymail as you can set it to "honeymode" so that when a spammer finds it and thinks it is an open-relay they start sending and everything just gets forwarded to spamcop, Occams razor etc..
    Would love any ideas anyone has on honeymail.
