Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Just received this e-mail: Quote: From: www.Fihsbone.ro Subject: Help You vante help i vil help you ok Ok.... now let's see what's wrong with this mail: -'From' is no e-mail address, but the (failed) try to write an URL; how am I supposed to reply? -'Subject' is totaly nondescriptive; it's a wonder it got through my spam filter. -Neither does the sender say what he / she wants to help with, nor in what way -The language skills shown in this one 'sentence' are so low that I seriously have to wonder if this person would be able to 'help' anyone with anything at all. Anyway - before anyone complains that it wasn't nice to show this mail in public, keep in mind that I couldn't do it privately for the lack of a valid address, so I was practically forced to react this way ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Dr Gumby Posts: 261 | At least you could check the "From:"-field for a valid-written mail-address by regular-expressions ( ). It wouldn't guarantee that the address exists, but would be a big step further though, since you could print out an error-message and prevent the mail from being sent. And I prefer that people are sending mails with stupid subjects to you, instead of creating threads with those stupid headlines here in the forum. But I'm excited for the mails, that I will receive by the new mail-form on my site... ----- Being fat is no illness, but ideology |
