I built a spam filtering tool mostly with the app engine. (It can't deal with email so that is separate.)

The basic idea is that with this you sign up with a name and the email address you want the email to go to (because it goes through the app engine I just automatically fill in the gmail address, but you can use others).

Then you add ranges of numbers which become email addresses

So for example with a name of testing and adding 5 and 10 for the range

you get

testing-5@functionalforums.com:
testing-6@functionalforums.com:
testing-7@functionalforums.com:
testing-8@functionalforums.com:
testing-9@functionalforums.com:
testing-10@functionalforums.com:
testing-11@functionalforums.com:

(the domain name is simply one I happened to have)

And then you can recieve on those email addresses. If you start getting spam for one of those addresses you can then delete that email address and it goes away

Did you ever get around to making that blog system of yours look like a normal website?

Actually yeah (mostly). Though it still has some issues with the robustness of the data storage that I haven't gotten around to fixing for various reasons (I basically need to break it up more so the failures aren't so critical and are easier to fix. I've done part, but not all of that).

If anyone wants the code for that I wouldn't mind making it open source. It does some pretty cool things with the architecture.

I only asked because the thread dropped and your hosting seems to be empty. I was hoping you'd fixed rather than ditching the whole idea at possibly the easiest bit to do.

This is going to bite you in the rear end when it finds swear words when there were none intended. What if grandma Smith is missing her pussycat?

Or someone wants to advertise a trip to scunthorpe?
