Recently at work I discovered that our servers can take up to a week to process a bounce-back message depending on the error code. Turns out that 4.4.* errors tend to cause this. These errors are usually because the receiving mail server is under heavy load or is not reachable at the time.

I've given up all hope on society. We are officially done for, too many stupid idiots One car accident caused by rubber necking at the first one. Inconsiderate people who think that it was the other persons fault that they walked into for not saying excuse me or moving. Stupidity has taken its toll on society and it shows.People who don't know how to pay attention while driving, PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING FOR THAT MATTER.90 year old woman falling asleep and knitting AT THE WHEEL. The douchie texting on his phone doing 20 mph in a 40. The idiot who screamed at us for allowing him to cut us off.. I've officially given up.. We're doomed. No one cares, no one listens, and people don't know what it is to be humane anymore.

Again, here I am, solving some of the weirdest stuff with shared hosting and the support that comes with it. In Plesk, each client is given a hierarchy of users, Most of these apply only to accessing certain things such as the plesk control panel in some form or fashion. However, two of them, allow filesystem access. FTP and Web Users can access their own area on the server for ftp'ing information. When anything is placed here its created as [user who uploaded]:psacln. This is secure because the psacln group doesnt have access to anything. And the user who uploaded data, only has access to this folder.

Note that this will also work in Plesk for *nix as well.

I've been working with a hosting company now for about 6 months. We bought some windows servers with clients on them a few months before I started. Additionally, we have about triple, or more the amount of *nix servers. We use mostly Parallels Plesk software for the user interface, its good, mostly.

I'll be completely honest, moving *nix to *nix is SO much easier than windows to *nix. First, if you do not already know, Plesk's *nix systems have an automated migration script to make a seamless move from one server to another. Unfortunately, because windows does not have ssh, and a plethora of other really useful tools that *nix systems do, this cant be done.

While doing these windows to *nix migrations, usually, if you're just not digging into the system far and want it done. You're going to end up resetting every single password from the client to the db, web user, etc. This, is where I come in.

That is all.

Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot that we can do to prevent your emails from ending up in other email providers spam system. A number of these email providers use different spam firewalls, which are similar to the spamassassin service I use here. Each of these spam firewalls provide different types of filtering, different methods, and their configurations can vary from provider to provider drastically.

90% of all 'trackbacks' that were left on my site have been removed.... irritating at best...

 

Trackbacks have been disabled... your unrelated quips and qoutes make me wish horrible things on you for wasting that time to read them. Then wasting more time to delete them.

 

That is all.
