Need

My spam filter is now catching close to 300 messages a day.Since my email is the only one on the website, I’m wondering if these spams are coming via the website? And is there something that can be done to stop this?

We’d like to load all the staffs emails but I won’t do it if it increases their possibility for this much spam.

Thanks.

If we didn't write this already, as a rule one should not have any e-mail addresses listed on a site. There are ways to obfuscate e-mails, but it's better use the contact form.

[To Dan] What you were talking about yesterday was covered in one of my old issues tracked on Drupal.org which happened to pop up today:

http://drupal.org/node/146270

short version: it would be nice to have e-mail sent with a name not just an e-mail address, and we could probably provide a module/patch to do so... three to five hours tops, and that's assuming some trouble figuring out where to put it.

There's A Module For That!^TM

Way back like 3 Boston drupal meetups ago, moshe mentioned a module that would scrape thru PDF attachments and allow drupal to search them...

Got any idea what that module is called?

Found it? Maybe here?

Ahh, found it direct-- here:

Ben,

My name is Sam, and I just come across your NYPHP 2005 posting asking for an online ticketing system advice for a small theater. I'm in the same boat as you, and would appreciate if you could point me in a good direction. [...] this is for a local theater that the city recently purchased, restored, and is seeking to use as a community asset. A solid, low-cost/no-cost, online ticketing system is the next step of this process.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Thanks,
Sam

Hello Sam,

Agaric (planned) Timetracking and Invoice System

Dan's listing:

• Task
• Estimated
• Start
• Estimated
• Finish
• Estimated Hours
• Actual Start
• Actual Finish
• Total Billable Hours

My refinement:
* time spent (billable, reported as comped, not reported)

Agaric time: it's all nodes
which is a ridiculously heavy way to store this information, but so what
it's the Drupal way!
or at least the Agaric way

WHAT:

Jason Pramas of Open Media Boston on a shared calendar for the greater Boston area:

the original line is almost as short as the function, but if we want to add checking on "empty()" or need to change anything else, it's all in one place

UPDATE: A better, universal approach which should be all you need is immediately here--

Simply provide the internal path that really belongs to the old site (in 'path', and the URL you want to send things with this path to, in the 'url' value of 'callback arguments').

On third thought, this should really be done with Apache rather than making Drupal get involved. Oh well, this works too, though an Apache .htaccess or configuration file approach would be better because it would use fewer server resources.

In the context of an e-mail / mailing list manager:

Every news organization, every nonprofit, every community-oriented business or organization needs e-mail that allows personalization and tracking of recipient actions in response. Another common need is for mailing lists, which allow group participation in e-mail conversation, and for forums, which allow group conversations online.

Neither need is met well currently, particularly when it comes to integration with web sites, custom processing, and (for multiple mailing lists) prevention of duplicate messages.
