    "It is not a bug."

    Generally, I do not bother with reporting "bugs" or coding errors in open-source software. Instead, I make a fix and post a proven fix for a known, reproducible error condition.

    My original post for this topic, within the "Tikiwiki Development" sub-forum, was not intended as a bug report. Rather, it is intended as a source of material inspiration for future Tikiwiki development. Legal and financial penalties of failing to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 are non-trivial and can be devestating to a small business.

    "Each violation of the above provisions is subject to fines of up to $11,000"
    "Additional fines are provided for commercial emailers who not only violate the rules described above, but also: ... use scripts or other automated ways to register for multiple email or user accounts to send commercial email"

    As such, I believe it to be valid candidate as a future development node.
