About this plugin

This plugin implements the server-part of the pingback mechanism as described in the Pingback specification, version 1.0 for Frog, the easy customizable CMS.

When a published page get saved, then the Plugin searches for full urls with a http protocol. Then it sends a notification email to a configureable receptor, when a ping comes in.
