Email Whitelister 1.0
A recent thread on the Professional Network had people talking about how they could trust non-Typekey commenters and someone requested an ability to "Trust" commenters based on their IP. Turns out, I had written a plugin that did exactly this a long time ago but had forgotten to release it. Quite simply, this plugin allows you to define an email whitelist. If a commenter enters an email that matches one on the whitelist, two things will happen:
- The comment is credited with a junk score of +10 (the highest positive score) and depending on your junk threshold will cause the comment to be instantly approved.
- The comment status is set to visible so that it will be published

Very nifty. I'll be trying this sometime this week.
Assuming I don't lock everything down, if they just place a normal post first won't that help others slip by? I know that's not how that spammers work now, but I think MT 3.2 and spamlookup is going to change how they attack things....
I'd love/trust filters more if there was a way to only compare to comments older than X days (so it doesn't match one that I didn't get a chance to delete yet). This may be just what I'm looking for, I'm just talking out loud...

I just realized I missed a point in this, I thought it searched the list of previous posters, not a list I create. I like my idea too though... Even though spamlookup does this already, when I wrote it I was thinking it just did the URLs.
It needs that date option (old than X days old) though...

I've installed the plugin and have added two email addresses to it seperated by a comma but when the two people leave a comment there not getting instantly approved. Any idea's ?
Thanks

If it doesn't work, make sure email addresses are separated with comma and space. I think you need space after comma.

Rock and Roll. Would it be possible to add an "action" to set a commenter to the whitelist? That would rule even more.
