Guys, I think you misunderstood my problem.
I have a site. It requires user registration to communicate with other users. The communication is sent via email. Users who register are reuqired to confirm their randomly assigned password via email before completing registration. So, lets say we have one such newly registered user, who decides to communicate with other users on my site, by sending this stuff out to them. How do I prevent a registered user on my site from easily blasting others with these types of message. I'm not looking to prevent spam, or bayesian filters etc, I'm looking to prevent my web application from becoming a vehicle for this communication. Is there an open database or filter web service I could compare the attempted-to-be-sent message to see whether it is spam before I CFMAIL it? Should I just keep a message-send counter which counts similar messages sent during an existing session and lock down the ability to send more than X messages per Y minutes per session? This is the kind of advice I was looking for Thanks in advance, -Dov -----Original Message----- From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 3:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to deal with the african money scams You mean those spam email confirmation things where it says "you sent me mail now fill in this or I won't see it"? Those are evil. Anyone using them on me gets deep-sixed. I've never heard a list owner say anything but vile things about them. Sorry.
