Someplace in the settings there should be place to store an informative sig line that will be appended to everyone's mail and without which no mail gets posted.
Another suggestion. See if you can't avoid the long string of Re - Re - Re -… that keeps getting longer and longer with each reply. One Re - should be enough. Also make this text box bigger and make the font bigger. Sans serif font is great and it's easy to read, just not big enough
The IP tracking is pretty good, but I bet the hacking attempts are from China routed through a Singapore server.
I should add that rebuilding the subscriber list may have the added effects of removing at least some of the subscribers who use Internet cafes with cmoputers that may have been turned into spambot slave machines.
>Are you requesting .sig capability?
Yes. The settings page should include a box for a mandatory 3 line sig file to include name and affiliation, and maybe something clever. No posts without it.
It'd also be nice if the reply button automatically quoted the selected portion of the message being replied to or the whole message text (without the boilerplate footers). If you don't have that most of the replies will be pretty much nonsense. A spell checker might be nice, too. Maybe some of the newbies would learn to post in English instead of that mindless SMS chat slang.
OK--what does happen now?
