NMS TFmail with Akismet

andymikester has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I currently run the NMS TFMail Script on several contact forms. I just recently ran across this Askimet Perl Module. I got to thinking and decided these two scripts were meant for each other. More about Askimet here. The only problem, I know absolutely nothing about PERL. So that led me here, hoping that an experienced PERL coder could seamlessly and easily integrate the two scripts and help rid the world of spam.

Akismet is for fighting Blogging spam, not email spam. You might take a look at SpamAssassin, or some of the other modules on cpan for Spam	[reply]

Actually, Akismet can be used for any kind of spam. Take a look at Askismet Development. Also check out PHP-Askimet-Contact , an example of a PHP contact form using Akismet. It simply checks the submitted content against a constantly evolving ruleset and decides whether to reject it or not. It works quite well on blogs, forums, and would be equally effective in a contact form.	[reply]

Well sorry you took such offense to my request. It is funny to me that you assume I am coming here to grub for free code. Actually, quite the contrary. I would gladly pay for the service, but I think it would be better served as a great "plugin" option for NMS TFMail that is available to the public. I firmly believe it would help a WHOLE LOT of people deal with contact form spam. I figured people here might share my view on this. If they don't that is OK and I would be interested to hear why they don't. I am truly sorry you were so turned off by my honesty concerning my lack of PERL knowledge.	[reply]
