I could even put up a system status page, hosted off-network (in case EVERYTHING is down on my side) and tie it to my email notification system. Not impossible to do otherwise, but since a trial account of $0.50/weblog/month is more then enough, why the heck not?
$0.50 for the first 30 days, after that they must upgrade to fully a paid account or get expired.
I left the confirmation on initially just to see what happens and emailed a post to my blog. I waited and waited and waited for the confirmation, nothing. Weird... Check the mail server, no backlog. Happen to look at my incoming spam folder, and what do you know, blogware is forging a domain it does not own or host and has never been authorized to send from, and as a result my mail server flagged it as spam.
Well isn't that fancy. In today's world even big slow moving behind the times .COMs like eBay are in the process of fixing their systems so that they don't forge sender email addresses, so I find it rather astounding that OpenSRS found a developer clueless enough to create a system that forges sender information.

I'm sorry if this seems offensive, but frankly, somebody needs a smack upside the head.
I quite literally have no idea what you are talking about. Headers below from an email confirmation I just received. There might be a problem here that we can fix but without getting details from you, I've got nothing to go on. In the meantime, the same developer that wrote the initial version of OpenSRS will continue down the road with the next release of Blogware. Drop me a note with some details and I'll see what I can do to fix the problem for you.
