Any plans to upgrade to Cpanel 11 anytime soon?

Of course the most reliable way is to be on a dedicated machine where you have root access. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) (a.k.a. Virtual Dedicated Server) will also do - these cost about the same as regular hosting plans these days but there only a handful of providers out there. TCH - any plans for VPS? I'd buy one from you!

Bruce, It is possible directly from cPanel - however there are limitations. Basically add a filter for the 'Body' (I know we're looking at the 'headers' but I tried it and it didnt work but choosing the 'Body' does - dont ask me!) that 'matches regex' and in the field enter ^((?!xyz).)*$ - this basically triggers the filter if xyz ISN'T contained in the 'Body' (again headers would make sense but body is what works). Basically this filter will look for xyz and if itsnt there the server can either Discard the msg or forward it to a sustect-spam quarantine account. Regex are extremely powerful and in this case instead of looking for something (drugs, I AM A SPAMMER etc etc) we are having it look for something that is not there. The example above is basic as can be if you want to get really complicated you could write it to filter and allow anything. To mimic Ed Hosting filter requirements he can try: ^((?!xyz|abc).)*$ where abc and xyz are his spam filtering services' domain and total choice hosting's server's domain name respectively. If either abc or xyz appear the message will be delivered correctly. Of course xyz and abc can be replaced with anything you want (server99.snhdns.org is a perfectly valid replacement of abc). Be careful though if a spammer delivers a msg to your A address (your TCH machine) instead of your MX record bypassing your spam service, abc will appear in the headers and the regex filter above will allow correct delivery anyway. What i havent been able to have regex do is look for the argument in the first line (but then I havent even been able to have it check the headers at all). Have fun!

Yup! I'm all set! Thanks Head Guru! ~Aeroknight

I am not an exprert and I am positive there are smarter ways to do it - someone will let us know for sure .... but in the meantime, this works just fine: <script language="javascript"> <!-- document.write('<a href=mailto:'+'anything'+'@'+'domain.tld>Email Me</a>') //--> </script> The concept being that the spiders are looking for the syntax *@*.* If you dont obey the syntax in your coding, then they dont pick it up. It doesnt affect the way people see your site or the functioning of the mailto:.

A follow-up to my previous... couldnt telnet into port 26 on servers 39, 40 & 41 BUT could on server 38 Looks like I guessed correctly about your newer machines not being setup for port 26 yet ... or did I miss something? I am hosted on 39 ... need an alternative to port 25, I have to use an ISP that blocks 25 AND refuses SMTP relay to msgs from email addresses belonging to domains not hosted by them (even after authentication using my dial-up credentials) ... Thx

Guys, I just tried sending email using port 26 on server 39. Didnt work! Maybe your newer servers havent been configured yet? Any input? Thanks Other than that .... Rock Sign
