I've seen networks who use auth code as a captcha method, they print it back to the user hoping it won't be caught by an evil script and only a real person would know what to do with it.<br>it's not a good idea, because a simple regexp can catch this.
<br>i am using libgd and a php cron to email the auth code inside an image attached to the letter.<br>this also eliminates the need for me to check whether the @<a href="http://host.com">host.com</a> points to the same address as the host of the client, because i simply don't care, no bot in hell will be able to just understand the auth code.

I can kind of see the logic, as then you'd need to customise <insert<br>botnet here> for that network, but it's not something I'd do.<br><br>On 1/21/06, Torbjörn Svensson <<a href="mailto:azoff@se.linux.org">azoff@se.linux.org
