Just released tonight!. Anyone new dropcatchers interested in an easy to use primary dropcatching system or backup system for established dropcatchers might like to take a look at this new software package that I've just released that runs from your Windows XP computer.

Yeah, but why pay 300 quid for something that a short line of shell script could do for free?

DaveBeasley · 25-05-2005, 03:55:31 PM

This may be true, I don't know programming so can't confirm/deny. This program is designed For those people without server setups and scripting knowledge. Perhaps you'd like to play the good samaritan and share this short line of shell script with others on the forum?, so they don't have to consider paying �300

Cheers

Dave

How does this work?

You need PGP, so I guess it uses a pre-signed email.
You need and SMTP mail client, so IT isn't an SMTP client.
You need Scheduler, so it isn't a scheduling program.

I am not against this product at all, just wondered what it does, without having to download and install it.

Thanks Dave

I know i have shared the basic code / principles with a fair few on this forum

The key bit to speculative emails is the counting or predicting of when the specs can be reused to prevent blocking.

I have a fully featured web based system I have considered selling but as of yet not done so.

Cheers,
rob.

Hi,

Yes, this program does presently need a pre-signed email, so you would need an implementation of PGP; it utilises your existing mail settings to send the email, and yes you need windows task scheduler.

It is a windows desktop based system for those who don't have a web-based system or the resources or knowledge to create one. As with any new piece of software it is still undergoing on-going development, eventually to encompass its own scheduler, or at least make better 'integrated' use of the windows task scheduler and is currently also undergoing the necessary changes to allow auto PGP signing of the outgoing emails. These are a bit away yet though.

It includes its own counters, to track no. email sent, along with no. requests sent.

Hope this helps,

Dave

Speaking as a part time code monkey, I'd say that it's simply a program to send an email, every 2 minutes. It doesn't even seem to check if the domain is still available and switch to trying another.

My latest code runs to about 1500 lines of source. I wish something good would drop, so that I could test it.

This is trivial, and it duplicates the functionality of your program as you have described it (without coughing up 300 quid!)

bash$ while (true) ; do cat signed-mail | mail -s 'TAG Domain Request' $ADDR ; sleep $DELAY ; done

Is that what you were after?

Actually what's really annoying is that this sort of script does work.
Not very well, but a really well written one, might only be three times as efficient.

So I've seen my catching success rate fall, from about 50% to about 10%, due to a load of cowboys, with a bunch of TAG's and some crude code.

Obviously I've got no right to be annoyed about this. I just am.

As for attempting to sell things at hugely inflated prices, I think that's part of the rules here.
