I've updated the script, in previous script some users faced problem on sending multiple mails with one SMTP session. What's new: 1. Connect to SMTP server each time before sending mail 2. SMTP authentication is now optional (not every server needs authentication) 3. Some informative error messages added. (The updated script can be downloaded from the same location mentioned in the 1st post of this thread)

I have updated the script. Now it can send database backup also (optional)

It will not merge any file, just pack the files and send to you. In fact, there is no need to merge. Every splitted and sent zip files are separate units. You can extract them with ANY zip/unzip utility (such as Winzip or Winrar). Extract all the zip files in a single folder, and upload them if you wish to restore your backup. It is that easy

Thanks Andy, here is my reply: I'm not a license expert, that was the fault. Updated te zip file with license information. Thanks again I've added this note in the Readme.html file, probably you haven't noticed. I never used any Control panel other than CPanel, so I didn't write how to set up a cronjob. But I indeed recommended it. Have a look: Thanks for the suggestion! Personally I use dbsender (Reffered in this post: Backup FAQ). I'm going to add database support now, it should take a few hours to update

Backup your whole website in zip format, get it via mail! Who doesn't know how important it is to backup your site/blog often? Again, if you use dynamic sites such as Joomla or a forum (e.g. IPB), there is always a risk to be hacked, no matter how security concern you are! In my experience, it is not always easy to regularly maintain backups, especially, if you don't have a good internet connection. What if your site prepare backups for you and send it automatically to your inbox (Gmail, perhaps)? This script do the same: > Backup your whole website/blog by compressing it in zip format > Split the zip files to smaller size so that you can easily get them via mail. (Gmail doesn't allow attachments more than 10 MB, this splitting solves this problem) > Send backup files to you via mail! Without relying to basic PHP Mail, this script send mail via SMTP (authentication supported), which is much more powerful. In our test run, it could send 250 MB backup file in small 9 MB pieces each to a GMail account!

Well, Although some of you told that it is not possible to solve the issue in my/TCH part, I'm happy to let you know that I solved this problem! It's easy, the page hijacker was just checking "user agent string". When it is Google bot > it was showing my page there (you know, its possible with php or languages like this), When it is a browser> it was just redirecting the visitor to my page. So, the only way to prevent this hijack is to deny the u15194059.onlinehome-server.com to visit my site. I run a reverse DNS lookup, found his total possible IP range, and block them via CPanel. And yes, it is working! Without redirecting, the hijacker's url is now showing a different page: http://admin.u15194059.onlinehome-server.c...ies&ID=2293 I hope after the next crawling my site will come to top again in google result. ------------------------------------------ How I figured it out. Use http://www.wannabrowser.com/, it will let you define your custom user string and let you browse any page. I have used Googlebot's user string there: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) and saw te difference. Alternatively, you can use User Agent Switcher, a firefox add-on: http://chrispederick.com/work/useragentswitcher/ ------------------------------------------- Hope it will help if some other guy faces the same problem.

Well, I've report abuse to the hosting company and Google. I've also received a auto response from the hosting company. Now let us see what happens...

Never! TCH is my first host (prior to it I used free hosting), and I hope its the last. Thanks everyone, for your valuable time. Just one more question, is there anyway to report/ask Google about this issue? Somewhere I read that search engines may ban you if it finds duplicate contents over and over, and in this case, it is 100% duplicate! Surely I'll want to tell Google which one is genuine page. Does anybody know where to knock (if there is any, ofcourse)?

P.S. I have never made any submission to onlinehome-server.com. I just cannot figure out why they put a redirect to my page. Any idea?

Hello, My site is hosted on TCH. Just now, I searched google for one of my page to see if it is listed there. The original page url is: http://www.omicronlab.com/avro-keyboard.html I searched using this terms: avro keyboard But Google put url of the first result as http://admin.u15194059.onlinehome-server.com/cgi-bin/mysql/dl.pl?dbname=FH&table=System_Utilities&ID=2293 - (see the image below). For curiosity I went to onlinehome-server.com and found that it is a hosting site. The url google is reffering is redirecting to the original page (http://www.omicronlab.com/avro-keyboard.html) Why this is happening? Are onlinehome-server.com and tch same host or partner? Image:

Thanks to all. Bruce gave me the simpliest solution by PM reply. "Let people of help desk to restore it."

I cannot play with my database, my whole site (Joomla)+forum(Ipb) may crash with all my efforts of last four years. Anyone there who is sure? Who can say it "must be", instead of "should be"? I noticed that the Cpanel Backup Database Size and Dbsender Backup database sizes are different for same database. Why this happens?

After reading post of Bruce Richards, I installed dbsender. Dbsender sent me the 1st backup today. Thanks Bruce! By the way, I'm not a mysql guru. How do I restore this backup if needed. As far as I know, backups created by dbsender cannot be restored by cpanel database restore. Plz help.

I am facing this problem Mad!!! Mad!!! Mad!!! Mad!!! Fatal error: Call to undefined function: boardinformation() in /home/****/public_html/forum/sources/Boards.php on line 359

I expected that a new version of Invision power Board would come with the new cpan, alas! Can anybody help me how to update the current v1.1.2 to an updated version?

I am using pop3 to get my mails. Plz, I need this help badly!

Hi, Is there any way to filter/delete emails that matches a specific subject. It shouuld support wildcards (*)....

why not use something like http tunnel? It will forward required traffics through standard http port 80. There is a free version of this software. http://www.http-tunnel.com/ Hope this helps...

No Andy, I don't think that the ISP is blocking port for checkinh mail from pop3 server. When checking mail, I get these texts in the statusbar of outlook : The same situation occur when I try to browse web without using proxy, the browser connects to the site, sends request but doesn't get anything. I tried to use Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 to check my mail. It supports http proxy for checking mail, but didn't get any good result. Currently I am using www.mail2web.com. But it doesn't support downloading mail from server. My problem is, downloading mail, not checking it. Any help? Mehdi

Hello, My ISP suddenly started to block all net access those aren't going through their proxy server. Mad!!! I have set up my browser, but now I am unable to check mail from my domain. I have more than 15 pop3 accounts so it is not possible for me to check all the mails through web mail. Does anybody know how to check mail from a pop3 server through proxy? Or is there any program that can check multiple webmail using Neomail, Horde etc (like ePrompter) Thanx.

Hello surefire, Here is the link og the article the Article.

Hello, Finally I fegured out how to do this. I have written a php script which will check my pop account pereodically. I can set it with cron jobs. Now the question is: Which interval is safe to use? 5 mins or long? Does it affects on my bandwidth if I use cron job to load and execute php script? Thanks

Hello, I set up a forwarder from Cpanel that forward to|our/script.php test@omicronlab.com Then I sent a message to this address. But the message got bounced and returned to me : Where should I place the "our" directory?

Ya, you are right. But it has also some possibilities to spam. User may give any mail address. I have to verify that. But when the user is ending mail to you, you can be satisfied with the "reply address" of the mail. How mailman mailing list works on TCH? We can send mail to be subscribed here. There must be any other way if we really have no chance to use php-cgi. But I am not a php guru. For my whole life I have coded in ASP. Expert peoples are here. May I hope to get help from them? Thanks a lot.

Probably it is a must that php-cgi is installed to do such things! Here is the first line of the code surefire reffred to me : Is anybody here for the rescue?
