    What about the slow restart for ASP.NET 2.0 sites

    I don't think it's really a compile time issue. The compile time shows itself as the even longer time it takes to get going on the first hit after uploading new code. Precompiling can help that but simply hitting it with your own browser after uploading achieves that too. The 20 minute thing...

    Mail server alternatives?

    Have you considered buying a LiteHost reseller package in additional to your VPS? That would give you access to JodoHost's mail system plus all sorts of other goodies.

    Timeout questions

    Thanks Stephen. I've got Exchange happily handing off outgoing mail to mail5 authenticated and going via port 587 because our port 25 outgoing is blocked. That's been working well for a while. I assume that alleviates the need for reverse dns. Its no different to someone using a simple email...

    Timeout questions

    Let's say I have an email account on mail5 which is set to forward to another address and the server that it is trying to forward to is down or otherwise not reachable. Two questions: 1) How long is it before the sender receives a bounce message? 2) How long will mail5 retry for until it...

    Reseller and Hosting Questions

    Can the opposite be done Stephen? i.e., moving an account from under a reseller to a standalone? At some point I might want to get out of the reseller business. I only have a handful of customers and they would all be fine with Windows "Value" accounts. I'd probably still be involved helping...

    Server/Client Software - What host package do I need?

    Yes, I see what you mean. Web services really wouldn't work for that.

    Server/Client Software - What host package do I need?

    Are you sure you need the server side to be an exe? Since you're using .NET have you considered driving it via IIS? In other words, build an ASP.NET web service. That's what IIS is for. Its a robust, reliable, multithreaded service always listening for requests. Threads restart if they crash...

    More moving questions?

    Its a good idea to delete them or, I would suggest, not having them in the first place. I was looking for one of my domains on Google once and found a whole lot of spammy looking stuff. It turned out to be some sort of guest book in those apps that someone found and filled with garbage.

    "WHERE ... IN" Usage problem

    If subqueries don't work then you can often achieve the same thing with a join. SELECT * FROM reports INNER JOIN staff ON reports.staff_id = staff.staff_id WHERE staff.department_id = 1 The * is usually not a good idea for performance and I'm not quite sure what it gives you with a join...

    PHP / POP / imap_open() problem

    Thanks for your efforts Tanmaya and Deepak. I didn't think to try imap :) Just for the benefit of anyone else, the answer is to use imap instead of pop so replace :110/pop3 with :143/imap. I think those are defaults anyway so they could probably be left out. Its still a mystery to me as to...

    PHP / POP / imap_open() problem

    Hi all I'm trying to use the imap / pop functions in php to read a pop mailbox. Here's my code with the obvious changed. $host = 'mail.mydomain.com'; $name = '[email protected]'; $pwd = 'mypw'; $mailbox = '{' . $host . ':110/pop3/notls}INBOX'; $mbox=imap_open ($mailbox, $name, $pwd); That...

    Compress - Zip File Password

    I think you need to zip something, leave it on the server and then get Jodo support to download it and see if it unzips for them. That way you'll know if its a server side problem or something at your end. I've no idea if it will help but I highly recommend 7-zip. http://www.7-zip.org

    Global DSPAM settings

    Someone from Jodo can correct me if I'm wrong but dspam does not bounce messages. It just adds to the Spamassassin score and, if over the threshold, Spamassassin takes the actions as defined in the control panel. I take it from this that you are receiving a message that appears to come from...

    How to report dspam false positives?

    And by "Full message" do you mean just the original message, not the Spamassassin generated message with the original as an attachment?

    How to report dspam false positives?

    Sorry to keep on (and on) about this but I still don't have a clear answer as to the preferred way to submit false positives and false negatives. I know this: Do it via report tickets. Do it within 24 hours but sooner the better. I don't know: Should I send just the original message...

    How to report dspam false positives?

    Ok, I'm finally getting into this more seriously. I finding that lots of message don't have X-DSPAM-Signature. Is that an indication of a problem that I should raise a ticket about? I'm going to be sending the whole message but will it be useful without X-DSPAM-Signature? I know they've...

    How to report dspam false positives?

    Ok thanks Stephen. So is this the correct procedure? If its a false positive, I'll dig out the original message (i.e, the attachment), save it as a text file and then send it as an attachment to a support ticket. Do you have a preference for the file name or extension? I was intending to use...

    How to report dspam false positives?

    In the light of Penhall's experience, could someone from JodoHost please clarify this asap. I'm getting into this now and prefer to do it right the first time. If you really need the whole message then my questions 3) and 4) become relevant. Cheers Ross

    Spam from me to me

    Another note of caution for anyone testing email forwarding: If I send from Gmail to an address that it forwarded to the same Gmail account, it never comes back at all, not even in the spam folder. That really wasted a lot of time once during some testing :) I think it must be because they are...
