I wanted to note that the Defensio license explicitly prevents use beyond comment spam, though someone could certainly try emailing to see if this is okay.
"3. Use of the Service. You recognize that your API Key may not be used in such a way as to cause undue load or stress on Karabunga’s Defensio service. Normal use of the service will be considered to constitute protection of a single, legitimate blog per API Key with total comment traffic sufficiently moderate that will enabling its protection will not disrupt use of the service for other users. Your API Key must only be used for blog comment spam traffic – use for any other applications (e.g. email, wiki, social software, etc) must first be authorized by Karabunga Inc. Should abnormal, unauthorized or abusive use be detected, Karabunga reserves at its sole discretion the right to suspend or terminate your account." –http://defensio.com/tos On Dec 8, 2008, at 4:58 PM, Andy C wrote: > > After further consideration, I had second, third and fourth thoughts. > > I have now reverted to using Jambo with Rick C's additional hooks into > Spamchecker. > > So far, I haven't had any spam (3 days) and one message thought to be > from a human. > > On Dec 8, 6:45 pm, "Matt Read" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 6:31 AM, Andy C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> Ladies and Gentlemen, >> >>> Habari has finally arrived.
