Glen Mazza commented on ROL-2002:
---------------------------------
Yes and no. We check that the entered email is syntatically valid but don't
test it first by sending an email to what the user types in.
Likewise, we may wish to do a mild, imperfect test that the URL is syntatically
valid (does it have at least one dot in it? If it has a scheme, does it start
with http:// or https://) but we should not IMO automatically be hitting
whatever URL the reader types in to test to see if the URL works. This way, if
the blog commenter decides to type in an Al-Qaeda, porn, or drug trafficking
website URL the blogger's server will not be on record of having accessed it.
Also, it's entirely possible the commenter's entered URL may be temporarily
down or a future URL that the commenter plans to activate next week.
