Another e-mail problem raised. They can receive but when sending, not all are successful. Some came back undeliverable. Looking at the error message, it clearly stated they were blacklisted that’s why. How do you get blacklisted and who blacklist list you? There are a couple of anti-spam companies that sell this service and filter the messages for you. If you are sending out spam mails these guys can test the origin and it’s not valid it will reject the message but if it’s valid it will allow it for a period of time until it learns more and become aware that it’s spam then it will block your origin based on IP address or domain name. Clever stuff!!!

Had a company raised a call to say they are not receiving any e-mails and no internet as well. I bet if they have other things that uses internet, they are not working as well. So I did what I think should be done first. I had them to call the ISP and get the internet line tested. ISP came back to say the line is dead. Someone in their company has requested to terminate the line according to the ISP’s records. These are the customer who often say they loose big time if the operation is disrupted by computer or anything related to computing including internet. They immediately told the ISP provider it was a mistake and if they can re activate the line immediately. They were the told the earliest they can be activated is 5 working days. Nothing they can do anymore but to accept defeat. It’s sad isn’t it? You have the money but you can’t get the service instantly. They felt small compared to the big telecom company. There’s always a bigger fish. Now all they can do is wait while they lick their wounds.

A couple of sites with no e-mails today. One has an issue with SMTP services, another has lack of space issue. Where do you start to identify the actual problem.

iPhone and iPad said Goodbye to iJobs

Steve Jobs may have resigned, but he’s not going nowhere.

If you’ve read Jobs letter last night, it’s fairly easy to see that. What happened less than twenty-four hours ago was more a formalizing of a long-standing arrangement between Jobs, Tim Cook, and the company both men work for more than it was a major shift in roles. Tim will receive the official title CEO and continue to manage day-to-day operations at Apple, but Jobs will be there, as Chairman of the Board, as Apple employee number two. Still leading, still giving cues, still brainstorming and critiquing.

Joomla! Overview

If you’re new to Web publishing systems, you’ll find that Joomla! delivers sophisticated solutions to your online needs. It can deliver a robust enterprise-level Web site, empowered by endless extensibility for your bespoke publishing needs. Moreover, it is often the system of choice for small business or home users who want a professional looking site that’s simple to deploy and use. We do content right.

So what’s the catch? How much does this system cost?

Well, there’s good news … and more good news! Joomla! 1.5 is free, it is released under an Open Source license – the GNU/General Public License v 2.0. Had you invested in a mainstream, commercial alternative, there’d be nothing but moths left in your wallet and to add new functionality would probably mean taking out a second mortgage each time you wanted something adding!

Joomla! changes all that …

Joomla! is different from the normal models for content management software. For a start, it’s not complicated. Joomla! has been developed for everybody, and anybody can develop it further. It is designed to work (primarily) with other Open Source, free, software such as PHP, MySQL, and Apache.

It is easy to install and administer, and is reliable.

Joomla! doesn’t even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it’s up and running.

To get the perfect Web site with all the functionality that you require for your particular application may take additional time and effort, but with the Joomla! Community support that is available and the many

Third Party Developers actively creating and releasing new Extensions for the 1.5 platform on an almost daily basis, there is likely to be something out there to meet your needs. Or you could develop your own Extensions and make these available to the rest of the community.
