New Roller Feature: Comment Subscribers

I added a new feature to Roller last night. Now, if you have e-mailing of comments enabled, all the folks that have commented on a post will be cc'd when a new comment comes in. Here are the features/issues it currently has:

  • (Feature) Now a URL appears on the bottom of the e-mail with a link to comment on the post.
  • (Issue) Weblog owner is cc'd when they post a new comment. Since it's always "to" them, there's no need to cc them. I just noticed this after replying to another post - however, I only received one e-mail, so who knows.
  • (Issue) When a commentor does not specify an e-mail address, the from address is set to "[email protected]." I don't know if this is the best way, but it works for this initial cut.

You must specify an e-mail address to be cc'd on comments (of course). Feel free to give it a whirl.

Yeah, I dig it too - makes it a lot easier to manage comments.

Just curious as to what you were doing about bogus e-mail addresses? So, let's say someone enters a bogus e-mail address or misspells their e-mail address when leaving a comment. Any other comments to that post are going to cause your system to send out an e-mail address each time to a bad address.

How "should" I handle it? I really don't care b/c (I think) the system will just ignore if invalid e-mails are specified. When they bounce back, they'll go to whoever sent it. I don't think it's a good idea to write code to verify correct addresses. If you don't enter an e-mail address (like you did), it shows up as from "[email protected]" and you're not cc'd on this reply.
