Since we changed domain and added hosting at the end we didn't go for privacy with our information. Now for the last 2 weeks I have received an average of about 7 phone calls asking me to advertise our web design company and if I would like cheaper call plans for my phone to which I reply we don't do web design..
I ask "how did you aquire our information?"
Replies "you don't want to advertise / cheap calls?"
I reply "can you answer me first please?"
there reply "goodbye" or words to that affect.
Now if i'm not mistaken is there some companies selling our whois information as market research?
I've been tasked with a project to try and collect as many spam messages per day as possible. We're not an ISP so don't see a lot of email traffic on our own.
I've done some basic things like putting up a handful of public email addresses (honeypots) and registered some new domains, but it's been surprisingly hard to collect *a lot* of spam. We're now seeing 200-300 spam messages per day, but we would like to collect 10k-50k+ per day.
Ideally we want the original, full spam message (headers and all).
- Any ideas or tips on how to do this?
- Are there any public databases out there that expose this type of data?
I'm doing some research into EU data centres and was trying to find a list of good, reliable centres that offer good speeds to, and around, the whole of Europe - especially the UK.
The provider we currently use is LeaseWeb (NL), who have been very good, however, due to their servers being a very specific specification and currently not what we're looking for, we are looking for a good replacement.
I don't think I would like a centre that is located in the UK, whilst it would be better for us, it would not benefit all of our customers - a host somewhere in the middle would do great.
I'm working on a research study at the University of Toronto and we would like to set up a website and dedicated secure server. I would like some recommendations on start packages that would be appropriate with prices. I'm hoping some could over their own experiences.
In your opinion do you believe there is a market for a very high end VPS solution?
Something like: Equal Share CPU (3.0GHz) 3GB Ram reserved 8GB burst 250GB storage (15K drives) 3000GB bandwidth transfer
The thing that makes this “Ultra Premium” would be the host server resource guarantee.
Host server would be undersold in memory, making the possibility of burst memory availability very high.
Max of 8 shares, no host server would ever run more than 8VMs
Each VM would have an affinity for a particular CPU core, at a 1:1 ratio.
All resources are allocated from the beginning.
Host server spec’s would read something like this 2 x 3.0 5450 Xeon 32GB Fully Buffered memory 6x Seagate 15K 450 SAS drives in RAID5 array. Gigabit uplink
I see people suggest West coast for Asia market, East coast for EU market. But I wonder how good it is when using West coast for EU market? We don't have money to colo in both coasts. Seattle is my choice for colo'ing,
I've been collecting quotes from various colo providers for 1 full cabinet in Virginia. I've been surprised at how much power costs these days, but I also understand power is in short supply.
One quote I got raised a question though. For a Class C (non-portable) IP address space, they want $256/month (so I guess that's $1 per IP). Their other pricing seems in line with the other quotes I have received, but no other place wants to charge for IP addresses like that. Is $256/month for a Class C considered normal market rate?
Does that reflect their costs? Are they paying a price per month upstream for IPs?
I couldn't find any info on it so I thought I would ask. Does Apple have any sort of market share for production web servers? Or any other types of servers?
I just looked at netcraft and was surprised to see apache's market share down to 50%. Last time I looked in 2005 it was at 70% and climbing. You can clearly see that Microsoft and Apache are a near perfect reflection of each other.

I see in the plesk documentation that the screen to enable SPAM filtering for an individual there is an option to "Move spam to the Spam folder". I don't see that option so I am wondering if it is only available on some versions of Plesk, or in combination with certain mail servers. How to make that option available?
We are having some big issues with a spam bot on the server. We can remove the bot but could you please explain, IN DETAIL , how to configure the NAT to prevent outbound port 25 connections to the internet except from our real mail servers on with windows server 2003. Currently, the only firewall on this system is the standard windows one.
through some accounts on the server and the amount of spam in their mail queue is really frustrating. I had to set admin accounts for each site I run and the spammers have discovered them, so I am looking for a ssh command where I can just easily clean all the spam out. I tried cat /dev/null > /var/mail/"the username" but that didn't work.
I just got this from EasyAntiSpam. Unless my address is harvested from the HostingCon database, I've certainly never been in touch with them. Disappointing either way. Matt:

I have a linux server with shared hosting ,now for couple of days one of my client face problem regarding spam with gmail,I have also cross-checked all the mandatory records,and we have already create MX,SPF & reverse dns record with domain keys for that domain.
im getting 50 and more spam mails each day, how do i secure my vps to stop 99% of the spam from coming in as i understand theres no way to completely block spams.
Im using directadmin control panel and enabled SpamAssasain but its not much of use even when i apply strict options on it.
I used to have a reseller account and have shifted everything to a dedicated server. I now find that a couple of clients are getting lots of spam when they didn't before.
It seems that the servers used by the reseller account had some level of basic spam filtering installed; my provider suggested I look for a filtering program to install on my server.
There are, of course, dozens of them, so I wondered if anyone has any experience - enough, perhaps, to make a recommendation.
I'm having difficulties with a whm running on centos dedicated server. The problem is that we receive too much of spam and junk emails. by too much I mean 2000 bulks per week. It's killing us.
Almost 95% of my clients are from my city - others are also known to me. I know many of them face to face - there are very little chances that any of them are SPAMMER.
Still my server IP is blacklisted - several times in last 1 year - I changed my datacenter - but the problem still persists.
We're using whm/cpanel and we're always up to date with the latest upgrades (with all our scripts).
2 weeks ago, we receive a notification from SpamCop saying that our server was sending out spam. We verified everything and found nothing. 2 days ago, same story.
We tried looking at our logs and found nothing. Does this mean that there's a security hole somewhere? How can we find out from where the spammer is sending his viagra emails from ? We do not want to be permanently banned because of a spammer.
I guess the economy must be hitting them hard. They have resorted to unsolicited commercial email, everyone's favourite.

I hope this finds you well. I am currently attempting to reach out to companies that offer web hosting services and either use, or have used, Parallels Plesk Panel as a part of the service offerings. The goal is to re-introduce Parallels Plesk Panel and hopefully revive any previously established relationships. This includes looking into why the Parallels Plesk Panel business slowed, or stopped completely, within your organization.
We are working very hard to establish a reputable channel within the hosting marketplace. In order to do so we need to look at what is currently working and what is not currently working. The best place to begin this research is with companies that have used us, but now don't really offer our products. With that said, are you available for a phone call to discuss?
My goal is to understand:
* Do you currently offer control panels, if so, is Parallels Plesk Panel a part of your offerings?
* If you are no longer offering (pushing) Parallels Plesk Panel, is there a reason?
* Would you be receptive to some sort of "trial" program to re-introduce you to Parallels Plesk Panel and our Service Provider Partnership Program?
I look forward to your response and hopefully speaking with you soon.
