recently I've been fighting with spammers on my sites and i managed to put under control the bots, but I am still facing human spammers.
My question is, has anyone managed to set-up a Contact Form email verification? Like, when you submit the form you receive a e-mail with a confirmation link that checks if the e-mail you are using is actually live not a spamming one.
All i found till now is this:
GitHub Magician11's Plugin which by the description looks exactly as what im looking for, but the code/plugin hasn't been updated in 2 long years and is not working as required.
So, has anyone came across such a problem and how did you solve it?

First time poster, so forgive me for my poor question if this has ben asked before.
I have a C# entity frame work web application that users fill out a form, and after they submit this form, the application sends an email to a group of contractors that have a set amount of time to review and respond to it.
I have all of that working flawlessly. My problem is that I need to find someway for the contractors to acknowledge that they received the email, and save the time in my application.
While I am relatively new to web development, MVC, and entity framework, I have googled and searched but I can't seem to find anything for it. Anyone have any ideas?
OK so im just gonna ask this question, as I am at the end of the rope, with hopes someone out there will have some advice.
I have installed the Woocommerce Follow Up Emails plugin on my site, and for the life of me I cannot get it send the email.
The settings I have are:
Trigger: 3 days after the order total is above $1.00
Setting: Customer recieves the email once
There is nothing in the "scheduled emails" of the plugin showing up, however and this is the part that throws me off, in the Tools>Scheduled Actions of the wordpress dashboard i get multiple entries of the below:
which tells me that it the emails are being scheduled but are not being sent out (even though it says, action complete). I have checked the WPMail log nothing, i have checked Cpanel Email Tracking and theres nothing. I have a WP Cron plugin installed that tells me it is functioning correctly.
Does anybody have any ideas/suggestions that i could do or check that I havent done already? Is there something I'm missing?
Any help will greatly be appreciated.
P.S, I purchased the plugin from a third party site and cant ask Woocommerce for support without paying for subscription (which i will do as my absolute last resort)
The plugin works fine on my side, although it is very basic in its functionalities and you reach super quickly its limitations.
I'd suggest you buy the plugin from WC. They tend to have special offers of 30-50% off few times a year. Their support is typically very good and has a live chat so you get answers often directly.
Hope you got it figured out by now.
I am trying to create a question and answer style quiz on a website, using forms. I would like the submit button to email the user only, from a field he/she has previously filled in, but I can't figure out how. Also, advice on whether php is the best language to write this in?
I am very new to this and would really appreciate any help. Many thanks
use the phpmailer function to send emails using php. You can read more about it here and get the library from github here
I have a website sending out email alerts when a story is posted. Customers subscribe to taxonomy terms to receive only the stories they are interested in. I'm fighting with a weird issue - some of our subscribers complain that they get duplicate emails, I've checked smtp logs and they are right. The problem has first happened with the Messaging and Notifications (after 4 years of stable work), at first only a few users were getting duplicates for some emails and in the end every user was getting every email twice. I assumed it was connected with those modules and replaced them with Subscriptions. Now the problem occurs again. I have two questions:
1) Has anyone got an idea where I should look? I'm really lost. I'm using Mandrill (mandrillapp.com) as SMTP server and used PHPMailer for connection in Drupal (just replaced it with SMTP, hope it helps, will know tomorrow). The website has been hosted with Omega8.cc since the beginning of the year, and the problem occured after this update: https://omega8.cc/boa-221-full-edition-305 but the tech support say it's not connected with my issue and they can't help.
2) I've looked at the subscriptions_queue table and see the sqid column, which is the only one that seems to be related to nodes - how do I find which sqid links to which node? I hope to run a filter on the table to remove duplicate entries if they are there.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm really lost
Thanks in advance
They all seem to be either bouncing explicitly or silently not going through now (0 open/click rate), and they had been working since they first introduced the feature. I know they aren't giving users the option to choose a proxymail.facebook.com address anymore in the newer Auth box. Thanks.
The answer is NO. Facebook no longer issues proxymail addresses.
Although there is no official reference which I can attach with this answer. But found this for reference.
Pretty sure it's still available to users, but Facebook rolls out
updates to their dialog boxes slowly, so it's possible a newer (or
even an older) one doesn't have that option.
This was one link where you had that:-
Now after the recent updates the Change button was removed.
I can answer the specific question I asked so long ago. I think Facebook must have had a bug for a while that broke the *#proxymail.facebook.com email integration, and it was during this period that I asked my original question. However, looking at our email logs, I can see that we have had people click on links in email sent to these Facebook proxy emails at the end of October, so whatever the issue was must have been resolved, and I believe if you have a Facebook proxy email, you can safely send to it.
That being said, of course the individual user may have revoked the email permission (in which case their proxy email will go to nowhere), and my impression is the same as sfussenegger that Facebook is no longer allowing users to use proxy email addresses. I haven't seen the option to anonymize my email in a FB permissions dialog in a long time...
does this answer your question?
Communicating Directly with Your Users via Email
The reason you're getting no click-rates, is because in all outgoing emails that go through the facebook proxymail servers, the remailer is rewriting the links. So stuff of the form:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/">
gets re-written as:
<a href="l.php/?u=http://www.domain.com/">
Which is a broken link, and so your open-detection or click-detection probably won't work at all. And undoubtedly, users are confused (as evidenced by my users who ran into this).
