Re: [PHP] SpanCease 'crap'
I think that having the list settings set up to email everybody who is on single emails using the email address of the person writing this list is - WRONG. Most lists I am on don't do that. quote Justin Patrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, 18 Jul 2004 21:32:15 +0100, Lester Caine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jason Wong wrote: Are you saying that you sent some message to this list and got back a message asking you to click on a link to confirm that you're not a spammer?

As I said, I could see it in FireFox just fine So *IS* php.general now being routed through SpamCease, or is something else going on - anybody? No no, php-general isn't geing run through this service. One of the subscribers is using it, so when an e-mail goes to them through the list it wants you to confirm that you're not a spammer. /quote -- -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

May I say again that the list is absolutely not set up this way. This is something that *one* subscriber has set up in order to cut down on the spam from *all* sources, not just this list.

RE: [PHP] SpanCease 'crap'
actually... this might be a little more than a single user, using some form of anti spam app... this might be whoever is behind the sapmcease app to snatch valid emails... i've received the same spamcease email from a few different responses this morning. one of which supposedly came from the mysql list. i'm pretty certain the mysql email list isn't using spamcease!!

I run the latest Mozilla, and the 'firewall' is my ADSL router so I can't change that. Since you are not seeing a problem with Firefox there is obviously something else wrong which I can see no mention of on the SpamCease site. I've asked the question direct to them, but obviously we have another chicken/egg situation, and they will not bother to read my eMail until I 'confirm' the very page I am having trouble with ;) I have re-enabled IE, copied the number(s) and killed IE again, but THAT is not something that should need to be done when using the latest version of Mozilla ? -- Lester Caine - L.S.Caine Electronic Services -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
