1. Use the Register function through the webinterface. Where users will then have send their password. 2. Create them manually in the DB, table "tblLogins". Then you assign the users a password manually. ------------- Best regards... Torsten Egebirk MCTIP: EA/SA - MCSE - MCSA - CCA - CCNA |

I've modified my spamfilter web site to where it will ask the user to
create their password, verify the password and plug it into the
database. They can then immediatly login. I would like to
modify this at some point to verify that the email address they feed it
actually exists on our mail server...but not sure where to even start
with that. I also modified the forgot password page to use Jmail to pull their password from the database and shoot an email to them using Jmail instead of the quarantine database. I did this because I could never get the quarantine database to actually send an email. I'm not very good at scripting....but I can be a bit dangerous with a keyboard when necessity presents itself.  |

Here's what I did, or the logic anyway. Every morning at 6am a script runs to email all users in the database about spam. The script checks to see if they are alreayd registered, if they are it sends out the email with a link that automatically logs them in with their password. If they aren't it sends another link to register. Now in the link it already knows their email address, because in order to send the email to them the script would know it too right? So when they click on the link, their email address is a variable, and it filled in on the register form automatically. So they just have to type in their name, and click register and there are no mistakes with the email address. Works flawlessly for me and my customers. Once they register they again click on a provided link with their password embedded and in they go.
Hope that helps! |

One thing that we did was to use some pop3 components in an ASP script and when customers are presented with a login/password they use their full email address and their regular email password. Our script checks their entered info against our actual mail server and if its OK then lets them get into the quarantine DB menu. This way they don't have to register and have another thing to deal with and we don't have to explain what to do. For remote users (those who we do not do mailboxes for but do spamfiltering for them) we have scripts for a separate admin and login area. We let the admins handle creating logins/passwords and that leaves us out of the loop (and makes them do all the work ------------- http://www.webguyz.net |

That part I have covered, they only register if they get an email from the system, if they do get an email and they are registered, they click on the link and it automatically logs them in. It requires little to none administration. Everyone gets a notification at 6am or hourly if they so choose. I was just trying to think of a way to eliminate some spam in the database. Not a really huge deal. |
