Sure, I saw the message and remembered that we were still using a
disclaimer
script for this, so I thought I'd offer some help, but a word of caution
about the fact that the script can get tricky.
With only that many users, many of those problems might never show
up. We
have a few more users than that (ok, 4 orders of magnitude!), so we
see a
lot of weird stuff that is hard to even imagine when you are testing the
code. :)
The product is probably a better choice, especially if it is cheap.
We really did try to buy a product to do this as we wanted more
features and
fewer problems (or someone else to blame them on), but only the
script had
reasonable performance. Everything else brought our gateways to
their knees
and had to be disabled. I was shocked by this actually. :)
