I use it for just about everything these days over perl. Spam filters, graphing, smtp server, ncurses frontends for apps, fractals, you name it.
I also post a lot of what I do in it on my site:
http://lucifer.intercosmos.net/
I use evilwm:)
no icons, minimalist WM..
For me personally I think that icons and menu's are overrated.. I have never clicked on a "desktop icon" in linux.. that is for windows users.
PHP is *not* ready for "production" the latest stable release is here: http://qa.php.net/ if you are wanting to *look* at the development version then http://snaps.php.net specifically states that they are "DEV" versions, and from personal experience these are unstable and not all functions are fully supported (i.e. try compiling in IMAP support and you will see)
The dev versions should not be use in any sort of production environment until they have been realeased as stable, these change everyday and anything you code with it one day, might be broken tomorrow.
I am speaking from experience here.
The previous version was good.
I am sure we will be getting at least one copy of this for our office as some of the junior programmers use the books and we let them take them home.
me personally, I really only use php.net if I need to look up a function, but then I have been doing this for a long time and don't need to read about the how's and why's, just need the facts and what functions expect.
From my experience, seasoned php programmers usually have a browser open to php.net to look up functions and seldom have any PHP books.
again, however, for beginners this book series is good.
oh my.. that is one funny read..
yea.. and they are gonna stop people across the world from using linux how?
*sigh*
everyone wants to make a buck somehow.. guess they just had their thumb in their eye and decided to attack the only group worldwide who *might* have given them support.

the idea is you let them think that.. then just forward the mail on to spamcop, emails are sent back from spamcop, which hits another plugin which goes out and uses curl to hit spamcop and submit it. After a few hundred of those, the users ISP will have them not sending mail in a flash:)

A Joe-Job is when someone is spamming on your behalf, without being asked to, for the sole purpose of annoying you. Someone who didn't like me just decided to e-mail thousands of e-mail messages to promote my website.

the very fact that it is called "honeymail" should tip you off that RFC compliance is not a priority, RFC compliance is what seems to be causing the problems in the first place.
i.e. when in doubt send a "250 OK" to them, but in reality lets toss em to spamcop.
It is for private small sites that get too much spam.. I would not make this for use by say, a large ISP or something.

true.. very true
my main purpose of this is to make an attempt to filter out the intense spam I am getting simply from owning several domains and hosting them on this machine. Literally around 120/day for random addresses for the combined domains and I haven't used any emails for these domains, so it is not like I have been signing up for newsletters on sites that sell harvester lists or something.
One of the main points is that it works with yahoo email and aol etc.. And I have noticed that spammers seldom to never use a real return address, when combined with checking four relay blackhole lists it seems to be effective.
Anyway, I posted some of the code which is not released yet.. but it does currently work.

well, if your mailserver "Accepts" mail for you then this in fact will work.
I just posted the code to do reverse checking on the site. Go take a look.

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.
I run an openmosix cluster with the openmosix filesystem here at work. Three computers.. no problems...
