Re: [PHP-NOTES] Note spam

Well we have already tried a couple of methods but none of them worked so
far, including DNS blacklists, spamassassin and a simple words blacklisting.
I've run out of ideas. Training spamassassin would probably work, but I'm
not sure if it wouldn't cause disturbs in the mail server.

Did we drop the double opt-in idea?

- User submits a note (with valid email address)
- We send mail with a token URL
- User clicks URL
- Note is approved and posted

Max 5 notes per address per day. Or x notes per domain/IP per day..

Yes, the evil side COULD be automated, but it's a lot more difficult
than a simple post.

Well but who's gonna implement that? :) When will the "to-be-approved" list
be cleaned? etc..
