Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the math-captcha domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Secure MTB’s e-mail notification de-spamming feature – A changelog by Daniel Mettler

Secure MTB’s e-mail notification de-spamming feature

A blog-spam notification e-mail sent by MT-Blacklist conveniently contains a link to de-spam the according comment. Unfortunately, all URLs start with “http://”, meaning that the request (and hence your credentials) are sent as plain-text. To force using HTTPS (encrypted HTTP) for anything related to MT-Blacklist, you can add the following line to your Apache configuration (this is an example, adjust it to match your server layout):

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.6:80>
  # other redirects here
  Redirect permanent /cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Blacklist https://news.numlock.ch/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Blacklist
</VirtualHost>

and restart Apache (for Apache2 on Gentoo: “/etc/init.d/apache2 restart”)
