Thank you, found it and changed it. Interesting that other nearby entries can be changed from WP’s interface, such as the blog name and slogan, but not that one. I figured that this had surely surfaced before I ran into it, but guess not.

I love this live comment system by the way. You need to share the recipe…&^)

cd: The plugin uses the admin email address which is the email address you entered when you originally installed WordPress. This is stored as an option in the wp_options table in the database and is independant of the profile info I believe.

Thanks for making the plugin, which works nicely on my blog. I changed the address in my WP User Profile a week or so ago, and the digests are still sent to the previous address. Is there a way to “reset” the password in Simple Digest, or is this likely to be a WP issue instead?

mattie it seems you have found a subtle bug in the code which decides wether or not to send a digest email!

It counts the number of spam comments since the last digest email – not the number of spam comments with a karma above the threshold!

I’ll have to fix that and release an updated version

I’m not sure why I didn’t notice it earlier (I’ve been away for some time too ) but..
With the latest version, I’m still getting mails saying I have spam which are all under the threshold for example:
—————————–

There have been 3 comment spams caught since the last digest report 1 day, 4 hours ago.

Spam summary report (skipping karma under -20):
Summary is ordered by date.

All spams caught recently are under the threshold (go to SK2 Admin screen to see them).

—————————–
So it would be nice if there would be an option to not send mails with empty report? Or I am doing something wrong here?

woops.. I’m terribly sorry! Somehow it didn’t occur to me that it was already there in the newer version.. (I guess it’s the heat ).

I was indeed using v1.0, the one included in the current SK 2.2.. I upgraded, and see it’s been fixed. Sorry for the silly remark and thanks for the great plugin!

Mattie: That feature is already in the latest code and has been in for a while. I wonder what version of the plugin you are running? If there are no spams to report you should just get a log message. Try updating to v1.20 as available above and see if that helps.

Hi, I have a feature request

In my case, most spam comments are nicely catched and are under the threshold. So I get a daily mail, saying I have spam, but the mail is empty because they are all under the threshold. Wouldn’t it be handy to have an option to disable the mail sending if they are all under the threshold?

The code change is minor, so I did it on my install, but I think it would be nice to have an option for it in a future version.. What do you think?

Bennet: Thats for that bug report. I’ll make sure it’s fixed in the next version

Peter, thanks for writing Simple Digest -- it makes the best anti-spam solution even better. I thought I should point out a little buglet though... I noticed that if SK2 had caught exactly one spam during the report period, then the report would say, "There has been one comment spam caught since the last digest report 1 ago" instead of "...5 days ago". The bug is in the line after the "//### l10n Add" comment. You could fix it something like this:

$mail_content .= __ngettext("There has been one comment spam caught ", "There have been " . $new_spams . " comment spams caught ", $new_spams, 'sk2');
$mail_content .= "since the last digest report " . sk2_time_since($last_run) ." ago.\r\n";

Thanks again for your work on this plugin.

[...] I am pleased to announce another important update to my Spam Karma 2 Simple Digest plugin – the latest version has some great new features developed on the back of the recent heavy spam runs that I am sure many of you have been suffering. [...]

yes that is correct; there is a high volume of spam hitting at the same time. So that is probably triggering it.

By the way, After I sent that last comment I realised that I hadn’t taken the time to thank you for this super plugin. The copies of the digest email are certainly not as bothersome as the spam would be, and judging fron the SPAM HARVEST I would have been hit with a ton by now.
So, THANK YOU!

Jamie are you getting a high volume of spam at the moment with multiple comment spam attempts hitting your blog at the same time?

If this is becoming a large problem I can probably change the logic around recording the last run time to improve the behaviour.

The real crux of the problem is there maybe many comments being submitted at the same time and each of them could cause a digest email to be generated if the time is correct and the first one has not completed and marked the digest as generated. I have some other small updatess in testing and will add an update for this problem and release and updated version soon.

I am having the same issue as CARSON; the multiple versions of the digest email being sent. And the number of copies is going up and up..
