Anyone noticing some "quirkiness" happening when they use the eZ Mail component in their scripts and bounce the messages off of a Qmail server, might want to check out this helpful hint from Tobias Schlitt on how he solved it.   While working with the eZ Mail component, for sending some emails comfortably, I noticed some issue with my Qmail installation. With some email accounts that received the emails, the headers were broken and had double line break characters, so the complete email was broken. That (weirdly) happened only with some servers (e.g. Gmail), while my own server handeled the emails gracefully.   He discovers that the issue lies on Qmail's side, where the sendmail wrapper for it looks for a "n" instead of a "rn" line PHP sends at the end of a line. Thankfully, it's an easy fix with the eZ Mail component: [php]  [/php] Check out this page for more information on this functionality.

On the Spindrop blog today, Dave Dash posts about how he used the sfDoctrine plugin functionality to match allowed email domains for their website's registration.   I'm a co-founder at an online finance web site and I'm in charge with building out the site. Our rollout strategy is to let a a handful of companies at a time, so we're limiting registration based on your company's email address. I decided to follow the bandwagon and use PHP Doctrine.   His example code sets up the company information in objects that are validated against from a validateSignup (and match) function in the application.

(InfoWorld) - A security researcher has found a serious vulnerability in an aging yet widely used software program used for the Internet's addressing system, prompting the software's maintainers to retire the affected version. The flaw within Berkeley Internet Name Domain 8 (Bind 8) software could misdirect users to a fraudulent Web site even if a user typed in the correct URL (uniform resource locator), wrote Amit Klein, chief technology officer for security vendor Trusteer. Klein discovered the problem. Users are being advised to upgrade to Bind 9.4, the latest version of the software, which underwent an architectureÂ rewrite to improve security. The software, looked after by the Internet Software Consortium (ISC), is free to download. ISC issued an interim patch, but due to other weaknesses in the software, ISC is also ending support for Bind 8. "It's never easy to retire a product," wrote the organization in an advisory. "The security issues of Bind 8 are many, and seven years after the release of Bind 9, ISC must devote our efforts to maintaining and enhancing the current version." About 14 percent of the DNS servers on the Internet in 2006 were still using Bind 8, according to Infoblox, which conducts an annual survey of DNS servers. "Bind 8 is still a very popular DNS server nowadays, thus this attack applies to a big part of Internet users," Klein wrote. In a research paper, Klein described a weakness in the algorithm Bind 8 uses to generate transaction IDs, apparently random serial numbers that allow it to spot whether someone is trying to supply it with false information in respose to queries. The weakness makes it possible to observe a few queries and then predict the transaction ID in the sequence, Klein wrote. Using that information, an attacker can then send erroneous information to the DNS server, "poisoning" the address stored against a particular domain name in its memory cache. Thus, traffic intended for a certain Web site from users of that DNS server can be diverted to another server containing a fraudulent site, a deception known as "pharming." Although Bind 9 has a better transaction ID algorithm, it could also be vulnerable, Klein wrote. Â
