The concept is great, however I must agree with "anon" that an active site might spanban the server smtp.Why not complete the email code with a seperate log entry, or a database entry? With a database entry, just one email could be sent at the first broken image hit, and the image path could serve as an identifier for the log entry. Great post, never thought about this.

Anyone can handle implementing (okay, anyone with some basic code knowledge) - grepping your error log or doing custom 404 pages isn't exactly something anyone can do.That, and this is a very simple method to apply to pretty much any loaded method on a page (SWF, JS, CSS....) very cool idea.

I mean, since you can make a custom e404 page (or any error) you can make the error page to handle the emails.Further more to avoid the "missing image" issue, you could return a 1x1 transparent gif / jpg / png to e404 requests for images. Or to make it even more advance, you could customize the return image depending on the path of the image, say 100x75 jpg if the request matches /images/thumbs.Of course the above mentioned approach reqiers more code.On a side note -- is this post related to <a href="http://alistapart.com/articles/amoreuseful404" title="this article" rel="nofollow">this article</a>?
