Esta es una lista de cosas nuevos en spamgourmet

2004-03-03: Nota del traductor (C.B.): Traducción al español de Spamgourmet revisada y actualizada (salvo esta página).

2002-09-02: El dominio xoxy.net está disponible para el servicio del spamgourmet. ¡4 letras!

2002-09-02: Tuve bastantes peticiones que donar y para el SSL que por fín creó una sección de la donación por paypal

2002-08-01: Quité la list de la información sobre las 5 pasadas mensajes comidas - temo que el trabajo era demasiado.

2002-07-31: Aumenté la lista de la información sobre las 5 pasadas mensajes comidas in el modo advancado. Ojalá tambien correcté el problema con MacOS9 y MSIE5 por desactivar la imagen de la graphica.

2002-06-19: Quité la columna del "prefijo" de la lista de desechables después de que realiza fuera redundante por un comento de un user, en la luz de cambios recientes al servicio.

2002-04-27: Yo ha cambiado la función del prefijo como solo afecta el *crear* de un deshechable, en vez de la expedición de qualquier mensaje. Creo que sea más útil, puesto que sirve como una contraseña para crear nuevas deshechables. Al primero, funcionó de modo que si cambias tu prefijo, evitaste todos los mensajes en deshechables actuales. Esto era antes de que se puede cambiar cada deshechable en el website, y no sirve de mucho ahora. El prefijo es ahora ideal si piensas que otras personas son creando deshechables en su cuenta. Puedes pararlos con tu prefijo.

2002-04-18: Ahora puedes activar y desactivar enmascarar de dirección de contestación en modo avanzado. Es desactivado sin tu selección.

2002-04-04: Ahora esta una nota en cada deshechable. Puedes usarla para ayudarte recordar cosas sobre el deshechable.

2002-03-23:Buscamos a usadores quien quieren ayudarnos probar una nueva característica que oculta direcciones de regressar. El sistema cambia cada mensaje para causar contestaciones venir a spamgourmet en lugar del remitente directamente. Entonces, el sistema substituye el disponible por el dirección verdad del usador. Si quieres ayudar, por favor envia un mensaje con tu username y dirección verdad a: de modo que podemos preparar tu cuenta. Probaciones primeras han sido buenos, pero necesitamos tu ayuda para encontrar problemas

2002-03-07:Ahora puedes oculta unos de tus desechables en la lista. Sirve bien si tu lista es grande (como mia). Si quieres ver desechables ocultados, hace check donde se dice "mostrar desechables ocultados" acerca del boton de buscar, y busca.

2002-02-24: En los dias y semanas siguientes de ahora, vamos a introducir unos otros idiomas en el sito. Cuando un idioma esta listo, aparecerá en la lista de idiomas abajo de la forma de entrar. Por primero, tratamos de crear versiones de alemán, español, japones, y chines. Por lo mejor parte, uso Babelfish para traducir, y entonces mejorarlo con ayuda de amigos y otros. Muchas gracias a Jochen Schönfeld para la tradución de aleman.

February 12, 2002: I've fallen way behind updating the page of links back to sites that have linked to spamgourmet. I accidently deleted a bunch of web access logs -- this is what I normally use to identify such sites, so if I miss yours, that's probably why, and I'll pick it up as soon as someone clicks through again. THANKS to everyone for the links.

January 3, 2002: Just added a feature that lets you use a word instead of a number in a disposable, if you like -- the system will take the [English] alphabetic postion of the first letter of the word, and use that for the number. Remember that the words 'sender' and 'domain' are special, though, and don't work this way. Anyway, now if you give the address:

Chunky.the.spamcowboy@spamgourmet.com
An address will be created that is good for 20 messages since the 't' in 'the' is the 20th letter in the English alphabet. Likewise,
Stephen.F.Austin@spamgourmet.com
would be good for 6 messages, since 'f' is the 6th letter of the English alphabet. The limit to 20 still applies, so if you use a letter 'greater' than 'T' (like 'U'), the number will be set to 20. If the system gets a character that's not a letter, and not '+' or '*' (analogous to 'sender' and 'domain', respectively), it will use a default of 3 messages.

December 31, 2001: By the way, a few days back the spamgourmet project got approved for IBM's Linux Community Development System and got space on the big ZSeries. Yay!

December 30, 2001: v0.2 of AddressScrambler was released on SourceForge.net.

December 30, 2001: I got sick of getting my email address harvested off web pages (and even getting spam from folks who had harvested it, offering to solve the problem), and threw together some javascript that writes mailto: tags to the page using scrambled address text. This way, the harvester bots won't see an email address unless they have a javascript compiler... It's currently called AddressScrambler, and version 0.1 is available from the sourceforge project. I'm using it for all the info mailto tags (like this one: - view source on this page and see for yourself) , and on a couple of other websites. V 0.1 has no docs, so you might do well to wait for 0.2, at least. I'll also be providing at least a Perl server side component, and probably a custom JSP tag, too. Anyone who wants to write server side components for other environments (ASP, PHP), etc., please email me. Yes, I know this is kind of tangential to the main spamgourmet codebase, but it seemed related enough to be included in the project.

December 14, 2001: We're down to just a handful of users who remain affected by the confirmation bug. Again, if you're not receiving any mail, log in, input your forwarding address, save and confirm, and everything should work. Please send email to if you have any troubles.

December 13, 2001: IF YOU SIGNED UP BETWEEN DECEMBER 10TH AND 12TH, 2001, AND ARE NOT RECEIVING MAIL you may need to reconfirm your forwarding address -- my sincerest apologies for those of you with fairly long addresses -- a bug in the confirmation system (hastily installed on the 10th) may have truncated it when it was confirmed. The problem is fixed now, and a reconfirmation will remedy your situation if your address was truncated. I'm going through and fixing the obvious ones by matching the partial address by time and host with the confirmation click through -- but not too many are obvious... The confirmation code was totally separate from the core service code, which continues to function normally. Again, please accept my apologies and thanks for signing up. If you have any difficulties related to this, send mail to and I'll do whatever I can to help.

December 12, 2001: Fixed, hopefully, a bug that was preventing Netscape users from confirming their email addresses.

December 10, 2001: Well, it was only a matter of time before someone pointed out the potential for an ill-willed spamgourmet user to sign up for a bunch of lists, confirm, then change the forwarding address to someone else's (an unspeakable thing to do). This was 'lj' on the SourceForge discussion group. At lj's suggestion, I added a confirmation requirement for your spamgourmet forwarding address. That is, before a forwarding address will become active, you must click on the link that was emailed to it. Thanks a lot lj! -- of course, better to talk about it than to do it. And, yes, this is why I also registered the domain 'spamcannon.net' awhile back.

November 8, 2001: Fixed a reported bug that allowed some spam to get through . Also, added some new graphs that show average spam by weekday (Wednesday is the worst spam day as of this writing) and total cumulative users versus spam on Wednesdays. Both show six month trailing data.

October 5, 2001: Added some searching and sorting features to the list of addresses (available in advanced mode), and added a link to provide the list of addresses in XML format.

August 24, 2001: DNS host transfer has completed for the seven domains, and normal service has resumed. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

August 22, 2001: The DNS hosting for spamgourmet.org, spamgourmet.net, spamcannon.net, antichef.com, antichef.net, neverbox.com, and recursor.net is currently in transition, which means these domains will be in limbo for a day or so. The old hoster somehow lost the forwarding rules, which meant the domains weren't working. Rather than take another shot with the old hoster, we moved the domains. Sorry for the inconvenience. Spamgourmet.com as a domain will continue to function normally during this period.

July 14, 2001: We're testing a new feature that lets you get your spam forwarded to an alternate email address, instead of it getting obliterated. Email info with comments or if you're interested in participating. Advantages: you don't lose any email. Disadvantages: you'll probably see spam, more load on server, potential for abuse (by using someone else's address, but who would do something so unspeakable?).

July 14, 2001: Various internal code improvements and documentation that bring the code closer to open source release -- let's face it: there's no better motivator for clean, commented code than the possibility that other people might look at it.

June 9, 2001: You can now edit your addresses to change the number of messages remaining (0 to 20) and add/edit/delete the 'exclusive sender' record for the address.

May 12, 2001: Added a popup in advanced mode for you to view all your addresses.

February 25, 2001: Began storing a complete copy of each new address, rather than simply storing the word, userid, number of messages, etc. This will be useful at some point when you want to go back and view all your addresses.

January 28, 2001: Added 'exclusive sender' functionality: you can now give an address in the form of 'word.+.username@spamgourmet.com' or 'word.sender.username@spamgourmet.com' and the first sender on that address will be allowed to use it indefinitely. Likewise, you can give an address in the form of 'word.*.username@spamgourmet.com' or 'word.domain.username@spamgourmet.com' and anyone from the first sender's domain will be allowed to use the address.
