HI - We use Google Apps email quite a bit on our VPS. To avoid the issues you mention, as well as others, you have to disable mail for the domain via Plesk: Domains> domain name > services > mail > Disable Failing to do this will also prevent clients who are using Google Apps on the same VPS...

Hi - We are currently running Plesk 8.3 on WINVPS with a secondary (linux) dns server. I wanted to change the serial from UNIX TS to YYYYMMDDNN to accomodate .de and .fr reqs (and RFC in general). The ability to use YYYYMMDDNN serial is listed as a "new feature" in Plesk 8.6. Is the only way...

Just curious to know - what is the reason for this? Thanks, David

....just thought i would check in on this. Anything in the works for 2008? Thanks, David

Hi - We work with a lot of MDF files and it is a pain to update. Is it possible to install MS Access locally on my server desktop? I have a license for it, just not sure how I could go about making it happen. BTW - does Jodo offer Access as an add-on. Sorry, I know these may be...

Hi - Anything in the works in terms of offering 2008 on Win VPS? I'm usually not one to jump on a newer MS product (I.e. less than 4 years old), but I've been pretty impressed with it so far. Just curious..... Thanks, David

Hi - I had AWStats running on a domain and then changed to Webalizer per request. Is there any way to load Webalizer with previous stats (from 3 month rotation)? I saw some snippets for this on linux, but nothing for W2k3. Thanks in advance for any feedback, David

That was quick :) The DNS is hosted on a small Linux VPS I have for my site. I've sync'd DNS zones using rsync (linux) as well as the built-in Plesk zone transfer utility for my VPS, but I don't see any point here. Except for the one A record I added, changes to the primary DNS zone on...

Hi - I am hosting a sub domain for a linux site I have (I wanted to add a couple of ASP.NET pages). I didn't delegate authority to the sub domain (just added an A record pointed at my VPS). Is there any particular advantage to switching the sub domains DNS service to slave mode...

IMAP is indeed the superior feature - it keeps everything synchronized. Very useful for those on the go who are accessing from multiple sites. But it often comes with a serious performance penalty (at least with GApps). Email on your home client (Outlook, etc...) can, and often does, slow...

You're most welcome - Another potential downside with Google Apps is mailing lists, which are limited to (something like) 400 per hour. For our larger mailing lists we do use the Jodo VPS MailEnable server with SA, which works great for large lists as well as for complex mail routines and...

hhmmm......... By my reckoning that would be today. Any news? Looking forward, David

Hi - Just my (unsolicited) 2c: I know there is much that can be done with SpamAssassin to tweek it, and I'm not an expert on the software, but I have to say I have never been very impressed by it. Unless your running an application that doesn't support SSL, you might want to consider...

Correct - I didn't read the fine print. Everything passes just fine. Thanks, David

Hi - I have Googled this to death and can not find anything definitive. For DENIC and AFNIC compliance (hosting .de and .fr domains), the docs say you require: "At least two name servers (but no more than five) must be indicated and these must always be accessible on redundant paths...
