For the latest official release of Complainterator, please visit http://www.complainterator.com. It is now at Version 21.x


Complainterator Version 20.5 works with the new format of DNSStuff, is less likely to time out awaiting a window, has additional support for China, and introduces an option to just create message files if your email is not currently available ("Suppress email")

Below is Version 20.7 which has

- latest contacts file
- support for a signature file
- protection from Gandi shutting themselves down !
- more retries on traversal to avoid timeouts

Since Complainterator will generate requests for registrars to shut down their own servers, the responsibility is on the user to not send such messages.

Registrar Gandi received two such requests, but wisely decided not to shut down their business. To avoid such mistakes occurring in the future, newer versions will try to avoid even generating such messages, starting in this release with Gandi.

If you see doubtful name server requests, that look like the registrar's own servers, feel free to append them in this forum so they can be built in to the program.

Thanks!

P.S. It works fine with my free registered account at DNSstuff

seems work also without login on DNSStuff

My account is up for renewal so I am not sure if I am running under free or paid subscription.

I'm using a free account, and didn't run into any problems (atleast not with DNSstuff).

Have you tried clearing out all the dnsstuff related cookies?

And then re-login with remember password set.

There's been reports of it working fine with no login reported above by user, efa.

I deleted the 2 cookies and signed on and got same results this morning. I checked my account and I have a paid subscription until June. I do not see "remember password" on log-in page now.

this may be more complicated than what you are looking for, but there is an addon for firefox that allows you to "lock" cookies so they can't change or be deleted.

I got email back from DnsStuff saying I should be all set. It is looking good so far. I will see later if my use will be limited.

I have replaced the 20.2 with a modified one. It detects a new annoying pop-up when going to do the DNS Stuff traversal step, and automatically replies to it.

This was causing some runs to abort with a time-out.

I have also reset the program icon back to a frog. Let us never forget the Blue Security affront.

[I get knocked down, but I get up again]

Version 20.5 contains several incremental improvements.

If DNSStuff pops up an initial prompt, it is now detected and replied to.

Timeouts and lost screens were starting to occur, so there are more waits built in to overcome that issue.

Links in the messages to spamtrackers.eu do not work from the People's Republic of China, so additional links have been added for spamtrackers.hk to accommodate them.

Back-up message files in \Archive folder were stored in standard text format, despite sometimes having names in Chinese text that did not make it. The files are now stored in UTC format to retain the Chinese character set.

In response to a user suggestion, there is a new option to suppress email creation in the mailer. If you can not have your mailer running, you can set on the "Suppress email" option, and just create the backup messages in the \Archive folder.

Documentation, Readme, and the Online help file are updated to cover the new functions.

Download Version 20.5 from the top of this thread.

Fantastic! It now works 100% for me, as you'll see in my set-up thread.

I was getting the "Error: Variable used without being declared" message with the previous release, but not any more. Nice one.
