Hey in the add recipient thingy, would the address be like http://mf.inportb.com/?cms07?

[antimatter15]

yeah.

[inp o҉rtb]

Yup. Note: if you invited somebody, that person's address is automatically added to your contacts, and your address is added to that person's contacts, so it's easier to note each other.

How's the contacts system working for everybody? And is anyone in need of more invitation tickets?

I tried to mfmail myself and never got it
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it lol

[ttube]

[inp o҉rtb]

Wait up a bit; I'll hook you up via PM.

Yeah, it gets called by a 3-minute cronjob. So... you usually don't get your messages immediately. It's 3 minutes and not every minute because I don't want to kill the server, lol...

Once I get the multiple domain handling right, I think I can launch an unofficial 110mb mail program =p

This might be interesting for you... of course i didnt read it i'm just saying this so you'll say something about it, and make a gangsta explanation/summary of it

[Torero]

what skills you must have of programming to help?

Its a nice one, many have have multiple domains, and it get anoying to swich bewten them.

haha, it's very short. and i agree with it totally... hence, mailfeed.
but smtp servers are capable of handling mail for multiple domains; so should mailfeed

thanks for the link.

where's the gangster summary? I guess i'll have to read it

[inp o҉rtb]

it's a pretty gangster summary in itself. just read it

[tangent128]

Interesting concept. I wouldn't mind trying it out.

[inp o҉rtb]

I sent you an invitation via PM.

Does anyone think the UI needs refreshing? What kind of interface would you like?

[tangent128]

Neat. I'll have to play around some more.

Interface is decent (seems a little buggy, but that's beta.).
I would personally prefer the search/filter fields to be next to the list they're applying to; it's hard to tell at first what they're for.

[inp o҉rtb]

Yep. I'm working on in-place editing of records. There's an interesting jQuery plugin for that.

[EpicCyndaquil]

Wow.  It seems like lots of 110mb members are having success.  Maybe I should start getting lots of lotto tickets, LOL.

[tangent128]

One idea- would it be possible to get an RSS feed of notifications, with each entry linking to the "read" page? (I assume that the email integration will work by sending a link like that.)
Or was that suggested already?

[inp o҉rtb]

That's actually one of the foundational features of the system, and there's some boilerplate code. The idea uses HTTP authentication for security.

However, email integration has been going slowly, and will be until we figure out a usable authentication technique. I think a viable integration scheme should be able to send out notifications by email, but not receive email.Client-side Markdown rendering has been implemented. This means higher responsiveness and lower bandwidth usage when viewing Markdown-formatted previews. This also opens up the possibility of a live Markdown preview while composing.

[tangent128]

Client-side is always fun. (And I read Gruber often, so Markdown's fun too.)
And yeah, I can't see any way to accept messages from the email system, beyond maybe some trusted (i.e. in contacts) addresses. Rmail seems to be based on sender accountability.

So, how far along is the protocol definition?

(Also, is notification delivery down? I sent something to myself ~10 hours ago and haven't gotten anything back. Someone I invited sent me a message, and I haven't gotten that either.)

[inp o҉rtb]

Hm, it looks like a nonresponsive recipient stops the whole system... and there were two incorrect entries on the list. I removed them from the queue and the mail is now being delivered. Thanks for the bug report

RSS is definitely in the works. For now, I should work on setting up delivery failure conditions.

The protocol needs to be standardized, so that third-party implementations can be created. At the moment, the feature list is still being modified relatively frequently, so it's a bit difficult to have a solid standard. But it's in the works; some parts of the protocol have been pretty static.
