Ciuly's Blog – Reinventing the wheel

There was this guy/girl that kept submitting entries using a *@sendemhere.com email address which always bounced back with a user unkown (the actual email address behind those addresses).
And per my rules, every submission that bounces back emails is rejected.
So, since I got tired of rejecting this ones submisisons, not mentionging that I have palced a message on the submission page stating that there is a problem with that email address (but they were probably using some atuomated tool), I spent more than 1 hour to write an email banning function/validator and now it works like a charm.

and now .. I can rest nicely 🙂
