Hi there,
Our (small) IRC network chipped some stuff together and tried a paypall donation to [email protected] (as mentioned in the Donation text file in the Unreal tarball) but it was refused with a request to use .org instead.
Now, this can (and is likely) legitimate but when it comes to security and such I'm paranoid, I guess thats also why I was entrusted to handle this In this case I was puzzled because it shouldn't be too difficult to alias one email adress to the other on Paypal and that makes me very cautious.
So could a senior citizen of this forum please confirm that Unreal's paypal account is now "[email protected]" ?
Thanks in advance.
Could someone give me a paypall verification please?

I guess you are using some old UnrealIRCd then? Oh wait, the link is fixed in CVS, just wasn't in 3.2.2 :P (cvs diff)
Anyway, [email protected] is the new address, as you can see on www.unrealircd.com (which has been updated months ago).

Actually... You guys do have a button to make donations but I prefer to have the actual adress and use it manually. I know; its the paranoia mode again but it wouldn't be the first time where a webserver got compromised and links got remade.Anyway, [email protected] is the new address, as you can see on www.unrealircd.com (which has been updated months ago).
Allthough the paypal link says "UnrealIRCD" I'm one of those guys who don't fully trust this. And I didn't find any other reference which contained an actual account name. Then again: It is very likely that I missed something, its now 2:30am over here and after a nice Jagermeister things aren't going as smooth as normal
Thanks for your response at this hour.

I don't know if you are familiar with paypal, but.. you cannot just go register an address on someone elses email address. So the @unrealircd.org / @unrealircd.com part pretty much gives you all the "credit" that is possible ;).
On a sidenote, it's very unlikely that:
- the webserver [box 1]
- [email protected] [box 2]
- [email protected] [box 3]
- my pgp key for [email protected], which can be verified on my page and on my messages to unreal-notify / unreal-users over the past year [box 4, non-server]
all got hacked, so yes... I find your paranoia a bit immoderate :P.
Anyway, thanks for your donation, and now let's just forget about this :p.

I'd just like to make one comment on that. Yes, what you said is correct, however, be sure that we do in fact own the domain! We own unrealircd.com, unrealircd.net, unrealircd.org. I know there are some other domains that redirect to our website, but those are the only "official" domains that we own. So yeah, if it is .com/.net/.org, you know it is us, but don't assume just because it is unrealircd.SOMETHING it must be valid!I don't know if you are familiar with paypal, but.. you cannot just go register an address on someone elses email address. So the @unrealircd.org / @unrealircd.com part pretty much gives you all the "credit" that is possible .
