Googlespell and mod_security?
by Robert Bertram 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Hi, I am wondering if anyone uses Roundcube with mod_security on Apache? I got some 406's from logwatch this morning. Requests with error response codes 406 Not Acceptable snip< /?_task=mail&_action=spell〈=en: 3 Time(s) The previous day while writing some emails I ran the spell checker to get an error message indicating a problem with the server. The relating error logs point to IP's in South East Asia. Mod_security seems to be doing its job but I wondering if anyone with more experience that myself has noticed this as well? And if it's a problem? Could just be a problem with the Google servers? All seems fine today. Spell check runs fine. Regards, Robert.

Spam harvesting concerns
by Michael J. Phillips 04 Jan '07

I just saw that everyone who posts to the mail list has there email pasted on the net for spam bots. This is how a couple of my email addresses got ruined by spammers. There needs to a a regex replace filter or something for emails to get emails in name at domain dot com format or something, otherwise everyone posting to the list is going to see spam rates OCTUPLE! i.e. http://lists.roundcube.net/mail-archive/roundcube.dev/2006/12/seq/ Michael Phillips

SVN 439/440; settings dialog
by Robin Elfrink 04 Jan '07

Hi, SVN 440 introduced a bug that prevents me from clicking the 'Save' button on the settings page. I found that on my system rc_substr uses mb_substr now, and somehow that causes following change in output of the HTML: ==================================== --- substr.html 2007-01-03 15:59:19.582425500 +0100 +++ mb_substr.html 2007-01-03 15:59:02.676391900 +0100 @@ -173,7 +173,8 @@ </script> -<script type="text/javascript"> +</body> +</<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- if (window.call_init) ==================================== Now I have absolutely no experience with multibyte strings, so somebody else will have to figure out why mb_substr() causes to add '</body>' and one too many '</' to the HTML output.

3 new feature ideas.
by Michael Phillips 02 Jan '07

I would like to add some functionality to roundcube. 1. The ability to check box to automatically sign in next time or to just save the login. The information would be stored in a cookie that expired in like 30 years, if people on the development team think its ok to store the password it would be done in a hash obviously but everyone's imap/pop client would have to support the hash then. 2. For visually impaired people, have a selector for font size that simply changes the css or a high contrast theme. I think it would also be neat to use flite (http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/doc/index.html) for text to speech. There would be a link that could be enabled which when clicked would let them save the message as a wav file, then play it back in audio form. I already do this for captchas on my websites. I'm sure most visually impaired people already have software on their computer do this, but they are probably all windows people. this could allow visually impaired people in linux or other less supported OSs to get an audio version of their email. Some web applications sport a logo indicating compliance with http://www.section508.gov/. 3. GnUPG support, I would like to add the ability sign or encrypt messages. A user could paste their private key into a form that then saved it on the server in sql. There is probably a huge security issue with saving private keys on a server. I don't know of a php API, I would most likely use exec(); Please email me any comments, questions or concerns. Michael Phillips

dev sandbox
by Michael J. Phillips 02 Jan '07

Does anyone see value in setting up a sandbox/testing website. I was think of writing a public website to sign up for real email account that interfaces with the latest svn of roundcube. Maybe modify the interface to have a bug reporting links and or comments on known issues. This would probably increase bug finding rates dramatically. Michael Phillips
