snipe

Okay - I did the standard cpanel upgrades (WHM 9.4.0 cPanel 9.4.1-R64) - and I don't even know if the upgrade is related to this problem - but just recently, one of my users is getting is getting an error bounce when he tries to fwd a message with an .eml attachment. (This is a legitimate .eml attachment...) While I understand that blocking .eml as a file attachment is not a bad thing per se, I can't even find where in the exim configuration that its being told to do this. I can help this one user understand how to work around the message, by opening the fwded eml file and forwarding *that*, I do need to know where its getting this directive and why this suddenly came up. Anyone have any ideas? The error message is below (I added the NOSPAM stuff): > This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. > > A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its > recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: > > spy4rent@basilisk.vitruvianarts.com > This message has been rejected because it has > a potentially executable attachment "Fw_ Case #45721-Largen.eml" > This form of attachment has been used by > recent viruses or other malware. > If you meant to send this file then please > package it up as a zip file and resend it. > > ------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------ > > Return-path: <spy4rent@NOSPAMbasilisk.vitruvianarts.com> > Received: from spy4rent by basilisk.vitruvianarts.com with local-bsmtp (Exim 4.34) > id 1BkUDU-0002rK-Om > for spy4rent@NOSPAMbasilisk.vitruvianarts.com; Tue, 13 Jul 2004 13:49:33 -0700 > Received: from mailnull by basilisk.vitruvianarts.com with local (Exim 4.34) > id 1BkUDU-0002rE-MM > for lgarcia@NOSPAMyour-pi.com; Tue, 13 Jul 2004 13:49:32 -0700 > X-Failed-Recipients: spy4rent@NOSPAMyour-pi.com > Auto-Submitted: auto-generated > From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@basilisk.vitruvianarts.com> > To: lgarcia@NOSPAMyour-pi.com > Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender > Message-Id: <E1BkUDU-0002rE-MM@basilisk.vitruvianarts.com> > Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 13:49:32 -0700 > X-Spam-Exim: XzuKtCUYrjcqq86WNhakWAUY > X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on > basilisk.vitruvianarts.com > X-Spam-Level: ** > X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.8 required=5.0 tests=HTML_MESSAGE,LARGE_HEX, > LINES_OF_YELLING,LINES_OF_YELLING_2,UPPERCASE_50_75 autolearn=no > version=2.63 > > This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. > > A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its > recipients.

If I knew the ticket number, I'd be able to check the status.... lol But yeah - I did resubmit using a different email address.

IP is 209.152.177.208

Hi there - I just did a kernel upgrade on my dedicated machine with you guys... its taking a bit to reboot, so I was wondering if you can tell whether it ran into a problem, or if its just doing quota checks, etc. I rebooted through cpanel and it never came back up. I submitted a trouble ticket, but like a dummy I used an email address thats on that server, so I can't check the status.

Well, this server migration has not been a fun road - but I'm almost done. The biggest thing that's got me held up is figuring out how to cleanly move the raq4 email addresses/mail to the new redhat box. Anyone have any bright ideas? I have been googling for hours, and I haven't found anything simple. (One domain has about 90 email accounts on it - I do NOT want to have to add them manually, and I also don't want to lose their mail, etc.) Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hehe - thanks I was looking into Mhonarc, but it seemed a bit of a pain to set up and still very beta.

do you have shell access?

I downloaded it and threw it up on my box, in case it might help: http://snipe.net/showntell/mod_gzip/mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a.gz

Okay, this is different than my other post about a MailMan archiver. A few of the sites I run currently offer opt-in newsletters. I have a decent enough program to handle it (Subscribe Me Enterprise Edition - don't know if it was worth $200, but anyway...). I have recently moved back to Subscribe Me from 1-2-ALL (php based list manager). 1-2-ALL was, in general, an utter disappointment, made worse by the fact that I *paid* for it. (Being a programming, I don't usually pay for scripts - I can just as easily build my own). There were bugs in it, and the guy was kind of rude when I would ask him where in the code the thing I needed to fix was (because the code has ZERO inline documentation and is, overall, haphazard and hard to read) Subscribe Me is perl based, which is fine I suppose, tho it does make it harder to integrate into the existing php/mysql user management systems. If I'm stuck with Subscribe Me, I can live with that I suppose, but it doesn't do a few things which are kind of key. (ironically, some of these are things that 1-2-ALL did, but it still wasn't worth staying with them) - in the subscribe process, be able to set additional fields of my choice. For example, if I want to do state-specific action alert releases, I need to know what state they live in. 1-2-ALL lets you add an additional field, but it doesn't let you do the second thing I need, which is to send out newsletters *based* on the additonal information collected. - archiving. 1-2-ALL does this, Subscribe Me does not. Its less critical, but a nice feature. I have now collecrtively spent $400 on list software, and none of it really does what I want. Anyone have any suggestions? PHPList looked promising, but its confusing and hard to use.

Welcome Lisa!

I use snipe gallery - but them I'm biased

I'm looking for software that will handle MailMan list archives in a threaded way. Pipermail just won't cut it - at least not unless there is some magickal way to make it start threading . A built in search would be grand as well, tho I can always htdig the archive if thats a problem. I just need some way of actually showing the threads. We use Mailman to handle incoming cases at Pet-Abuse.Com. Since we have several admins working on cases at any given time, we really need to retain the threading so that the admin can simply reply with updates, or even an "I've got this one" type of thing, so we won't wind up duplicating efforts. Anyone know of anything brilliant that won't break cpanel?

*blinking in disbelief* Really? Cuz I just re-read that and *I* couldn't figure out what the heck I was saying. LOL Good, I'm glad i managed to explain that with some semblance of intelligence I have been pulling a lot of all-nighters later, so I'm a bit on the frazzled side!

Ahh, but this would go specifically against the style manual in question

Great, I'm glad it could be of some assistance! I suggest the use of embedded tables over colspan and rowspan because colspan and rowspan can do some weird things, display-wise. For example, say you have a table that looks like this (I hope this comes out okay LOL) >--------------------------------- | row A (colspan 2) | --------------------------------- | row B1 | row b2 | --------------------------------- Even if you specify a width for B1, the browser will often increase this width to wider than you specify if row A has enough content to fill the cell at least one line. (I don't know if I'm articulating this very well at all.... Its hard to explain) Same type of deal for rowspan. Also, using rowspan, especially if you're using tables for layout, can sometimes break the page. For example, if the user can't see very well, and they raise their font sizes up WAY more than you would have anticipated - all of a sudden your pretty sliced graphics have weird visual gaps in them. And finally, it just makes it easier to made modifications later. If you have a two column site, the left column where your nav items live and the right column where your content lives, if you use a rowspan=7, say, if you have 7 left nav items - later on down the road if you wind up adding a nav item, you might forget to increase the rowspan accordingly. Some browsers, such as IE, might not even give you a visual cue that you bothed that up, whereas NS/Moz users will see a mangled table layout. (If I have done a crap job of explaining this, lemme know, and I'll throw together some mockups when I have a moment.)

LOL guy guys - I *know* that the ultimate people responsible are the people trying to hack into systems and writing the viruses. Naturally, I assumed that *that* would be kind of a given! I can't really blame the end-users tho. Yes, I know we tell them over and over, and yes there *should* be some accountability on their part - but on the other hand, having been in website/web software design for so many years, I am too used to the concept that if the user gets lost or can't figure something out, the fault lies on the programmer/designer for not doing their job. The programmers KNOW they're dealing with people who won't follow direction and won't understand (or even read) instructions, therefore I can't help but feel that the onus lies on them (or in my case, "us"). It would be different if programmers worked under the (mis)conception that users are brilliant and will easily adapt and learn new things - but thats certainly not the case. Anyone who has done any programming has had hour-long kvetch-fests over how dumb users can be. We *know* the playing field here. I WANT to able to blame the end users - but I just can't. It seems like the programs that have invested the most time into user-friendliness are the ones that are the most insecure. (And yes, I realize that is a blanket statement that is absolutely not true in many cases) And conversely, some of the best programming has a lousy interface. Look at most freeware open source scripts (perl, asp, php, whatever). Many times, the most powerful programs are the ones with the worst interfaces imaginable. Thankfully, I'm starting to see that change, albeit slowly. The interfaces and usability issues are slowly being addressed along with the code to result in a better product. Feh, I'm just talking of course. Mind you, I wrote that paper on a weekend when we were getting slammed with about 600 virus emails an hour - so it was a little more bitter than it might have been if I had written it at another point in time.

bellringr - I hear ya. Obviously, its the virus writers who are ultimately to blame, but MS and the way they target their market is almost as much to blame, imho.

Honestly, probably localhost But your cpanel area should tell you all that stuff.

ROFL - ain't THAT the truth! But at least then we can be smug and say "I toldya so". Its the little things in life that keep me going... LOL
