As many of you probably do not know, a friend and I used to maintain a software package called “MailTrack“, a really simple PHP/MySQL E-Mail List manager. It was originally designed for a client who pulled out of the project at the last minute, without paying.

We were distributing it freely via Zone Network until last week, when we recieved what was effectively a Cease and Desist request from a company trading under the same name! Obviously, it’s fair enough. If I was trying to run a company, and my website was consistently outgunned in Google by a free GPL software solution, I would have considerable concerns.

Needless to say, we’ve taken the project offline until we have a chance to rename it. Although it sounds simple, the name ‘mailtrack’ is repeated so much throughout the code, it will be a fairly major challenge. Either way, I’ve only got 3 days until HotScripts (our primary source of interest/visitors) removes our 404′d website from their listings. Need to get my skates on. Any new name suggestions would be welcome.
