Interesting article about 10MinuteMail in the Taipei Times

It's especially interesting how the availability of 10MinuteMail in so many different languages makes it more likely to be a popular site in other countries. It stands to reason, but not something I'd really considered directly.

If your site isn't USA specific, you'd may want to consider offering your site in multiple languages.

10MinuteMail Updates

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

I just pushed a new version of 10MinuteMail. Here are the notable updates:

  1. Removed the Ad-Aware links and text. No one was clicking on them anyhow.
  2. Added some translation fixes.
  3. Implemented AJAX based (RichFaces) refreshing of the list of e-mails in your inbox.
  4. Added smtp client throttling (in Postfix) to limit the number of messages accepted from a single source within 60 seconds. This seems to have already fixed the negative impact of high volume spammers on the function of the site.
  5. Removed the "Get Another E-Mail" feature. While this was a user request, I discovered that it was being abused by spammers.
  6. Added a Forward feature to allow you to forward a received e-mail to your home account for storage.

Enjoy! If you have any issues with the AJAX refreshes, let me know, but I think it should work better now.
