This project has been moved to https://milter-manager.osdn.jp/ milter manager protects you from spam mails and virus mails effectively with milter. milter manager has embedded Ruby interpreter to control milters flexibly. milter manager can be used with Sendmail on Postfix on Ubuntu, CentOS, FreeBSD and so on.

Catches mail and serves it through a dream. MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server that catches any message sent to it to display in a web interface. Run mailcatcher, set your favorite app to deliver to smtp://127.0.0.1:1025 instead of your default SMTP server, then check it out to see the mail that's arrived so far. Shows HTML, Plain Text and Source version of messages, as applicable. Rewrites HTML enabling display of embedded, inline images/etc and opens links in a new window. Command-line options to override the default SMTP/HTTP IP and port settings. Mail appears instantly if your browser supports WebSockets, otherwise updates every thirty seconds. Sendmail-analogue command, catchmail, makes using mailcatcher from PHP a lot easier. Encodings are difficult. MailCatcher does not completely support utf-8 straight over the wire, you must use a mail library that encodes things properly based on SMTP server capabilities.

MOVED: This project has moved to https://github.com/Frug/AJAX-Chat AJAX Chat is a fully customizable web chat implemented in JavaScript, PHP and MySQL which integrates nicely with common forum systems like phpBB, MyBB, PunBB, SMF and vBulletin.

Discourse is a modern, open-source discussion platform that rethinks forum software with an emphasis on civilized, long-lived conversations and community moderation at scale. It replaces dated bulletin-board paradigms with features like real-time updates, infinite scrolling, rich text composition, and progressive trust levels that let communities delegate moderation as members demonstrate good behavior. On the administrative side, Discourse provides powerful moderation tools—flagging, bulk actions, user silencing, and automated throttles—plus robust spam defenses and analytics to surface community health signals. The platform is extensible: a plugin system and well-documented APIs let organizations add integrations (SSO, chat bridges, badges, embeds) and tailor behavior without hacking core code.

if-me.org is a community for mental health experiences that encourages people to share their personal stories with trusted allies. Trusted allies are the people we interact with on a daily basis, including friends, family members, co-workers, teachers, and mental health workers. Dealing with mental health is what makes us human. But for a lot of us, it's a struggle to be open about it. Not everyone is a counselor or therapist. The people who we interact with every day shape our emotions and behavior. Getting them involved in mental health treatment is the key to recovery. The live site can be found at if-me.org. The live design systems can be found at design.if-me.org. We use the wonderful Contributor Covenant for our code of conduct. Please read it before joining our project.

css-only-chat is a proof-of-concept demonstration that implements a functioning chat interface using only HTML and CSS, without any JavaScript or backend logic. The project showcases creative use of CSS selectors, checkboxes, labels, and the :checked pseudo-class to mimic interactive behaviors normally handled by JavaScript. Messages are pre-written in the HTML and displayed based on user interaction, making it more of a playful experiment than a real messaging platform. Its main purpose is to illustrate the limits of CSS as a programming and UI tool, serving as both an educational example and a bit of humor within the developer community. By pushing CSS beyond its conventional role, it demonstrates how user interfaces can be simulated through styling tricks and static structures. Although not suitable for production use, it stands as a fun exercise in front-end creativity and unconventional coding challenges.
