my email address is being spoof/forge. i have added spf record into the DNS for couple days now but i'm still getting rejected/bounced email. is this correct or is spammer is still able to forge my email and sending out spam?
edit: where can i check if my domain/server is on spam block list? since dnsstuff's tool cost money.
Just wondering... When I set my A-name records in my Domain-provider control panel, it takes almost 24hours to take effect sometimes, yet other times it can be almost instant...
I was just wondering, from a technical point of view, why this is. Does anyone know?
to find the user that sending bulk email sender from the server and how to stop them? any shh command or anything?

I'd bought a domain name 2 months ago. It was parked at godaddy until last week when I hosted it on my VPS. After I set up google apps with my domain (I'm not running any MTA), I was shocked to find out that someone has been sending bulk mails using my domain as sender. Everyday, there are 50-100 spam mails being bounced back to my gmail "catch-all" account. These are the ones that are being rejected by the receivers spam-blocker, or being bounced due to incorrect recipient address, I have no idea how many spam messages are actually being delivered.
I checked the originating IP addresses of some of those mails, and most of them seem to be home PCs - most probably zombies in a spam botnet. Many of them are indeed blacklisted with spamcop.net.
I did set my SPF as this (running djbdns):
Code:
v=spf1 a mx include72google.com, include72googlemail.com -all:3600
It's no use. I'm still receiving bounced spams everyday.
After seeing these spam mails, I checked the domain history. Looks like the domain had been active some 4/5 years ago, until it expired.
I have no idea how long this spoofed spamming had been going on, I only discovered this after I setup google apps for my domain.
I have checked RBL list, and hopefully my domain isn't blacklisted yet. But I'm afraid if this spoofed spamming continues, I might end up getting blacklisted.
What can be done to stop this spamming? Have you experienced anything like this? How did you overcome such nuisance?
Is the right time to install Dotnet Framework 3.0 and 3.5 in a shared hosting server?
There are already .NET 1.1 and 2.0 installed in the server. What are the problems that might occur if 3.0 or 3.5 are installed?

I have a plesk server with me, would like to check how should I upgrade my .net framework to 4.5?
Do I need to update the framework by using the control panel or manually download and install?

in a domain environment, how do I enable users to be able to access the Desktop properties and allow them to change their wallpapers. I know it should be a simple one but I'm still looking through policies but can't find what can be. By default/ after some group policy changes, all users are denied from accesing this properties window.

I am reseller with softlyaer. (not direct client).
in above url, have this item
"Preferential cancellation policy—cancel any time up to billing day"
my billing date is the 14 each month.
04/14 this days, I submitted 2 cancel request,but Softlayer "can't accept"
haha.
I lossed > 300USD because I am the reseller.
have any body same as me?
I dont bash hosts often, because i realize some problems will come up that are out of the host's hands. Network downtime, hardware failure, etc.
Most ive been with, have been very understanding, and willing and ready to remedy the situation by compromise on both the customer, and hosts sides.
I decided to switch my forum to a VPS and decided to go with ZONE.net. They seemed reasonably priced, and ive seen some good reviews here on WHT.
So, this past Saturday evening, I signed up and get the first few payment confirmation emails.
Monday morning, I get an email from my current shared host, that I would not qualify for a refund for that month since it was past the 30 day money back guarantee. I had been with them for 3 months. I had 2 weeks to go so I said ok, it seemed fair.
I email zone.net on Monday to cancel the VPS since it hadn't even been provisioned yet.
Tuesday morning, I wake up to account info from zone.net
I shoot back in email asking why it hadn't been canceled since i would be staying with my host a little longer. I asked them to cancel, and issue a refund.
They quickly point me to their TOS and state they dont issue refunds for any reason. I would be inclined to agree, but certainly these are special circumstances. I asked to cancel my VPS BEFORE it was even created.
I shoot back an email saying that I would be willing to settle a refund, minus the costs of the control panel license, which is the only thing they are out anyway. I have not even logged in to the account. This was all Tuesday morning. I have not heard back from them yet. They are probably ignoring me.
I will not email them anymore, I will not even ask for the refund back anymore.
So, be warned. If you decide to get a VPS with zone.net, MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO HICCUPS, and BE SURE YOU WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR MIND AFTER HITTING THE SUBMIT BUTTON. Oh and expect 48hrs+ of setup time on something other hosts do in 3hrs or less.
If they need to hold on to a customer's money like this, they obviously need it more than me to keep their so called business afloat.
Virpus don't respect own policy..
14 days moneyback is not true. virpus don't refund at all.
servers are overloaded. very slowly and if you ask for moneyback he. just don't answer you
i have buy signature vps with them and on 10 days.
servers have 1 downtime every day. and sometime (2 days) you cannot log into servers or view page because is overloaded.
when your servers back online. its take aproximatly 30 seconde before " website or panel " load.
just think before purshase. virpus network scam her client and don't respect own moneyback policy.
now i wait paypal issue.
I'm trying to establish a policy for hosting requirements.
I keep running into this recurring problem where a company hosts their own site or they want to host with a business associate or friend that has some kind of side business.
This often results in:
• Drastic responsiveness issues
• Half @ss server setup
• No back up mechanisms
• Non-standard setups
I'm thinking of bumping the price on all my quotes by 20% and offering a 20% discount if recommended hosts are used. Another alternative which I would prefer is just to refuse to work on any other, but I don't think I could get away with that.
I try to rent a vps from cheapvps.co.uk today and get this message:

I don't know anything about CPU. According to BlueHost, they offer 40 seconds of CPU processing within a 60 second period. Our sites are mainly forums and blogs. For the next year, at most, we'll have 200 unique users a day, we're guessing. Do you think running something like WordPress or forum software would be too much with BlueHost's restrictions? We will focus on 10 sites during this time, so it'll be about 2,000 unique visitors a day across our entire account.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently got a Windows VPS from 1and1 internet. I tried to run Windows update and Baseline Analyzer (SOP for me)..but neither would work. I learned that it seems to be Sw-Soft that have taken it upon themselves to test and push Windows updates to the hosts. Is this just for the big boys like 1and1? Or is this something Sw-soft does for all hosts?
Just wondering..say what you want about 1and1..I must say my experiences have improved over the last few weeks..and it does seem like they are really trying harder.
I've been trying to set an active desktop of a group of users that log into XP machines to an html webpage. So far I haven't had any luck getting the webpage to appear.
What exactly needs to be done in order for this to work correctly? The primary domain controller is running on windows 200 server.
Seems like my IP is blocked by comcast and clear channel. Comcast sucks and do not respond. They have the worst customer service ever. Clear channel is just another monster corporation as well with no concern.

Would a level 3 work?
Running wordpress with the wp-super cache plugin.
if there is a way to detect traffic spikes using weblogic server logs and depending on traffic load redirect to a static page, or load the dynamic page.

Is their fail-over system actually a load balancing cluster comparable to cartika's hsphere plans?
I'm trying to decide between checking out cartika, precision effect, or opening another account with medialayer just for a couple more domains. Between the 3, price isn't really a concern, since the package I'd order from each, with addons and such comes out to within a dollar or two of the others.
Medialayer has been great, and I'll keep my site with them, but I have a couple other sites to put up, and am kind of drawn to the clustered solutions for max uptime per dollar.

Which is better, to enable it or not?
What will happen to existing sites folder permissions if suexec is turned on?
I spent 6 months trying to get DotNetNuke up and running. Servergrid web hosting puts way too many sites on the same server. My site would sometimes take over 5 minutes to load. Often it would not load at all. I cancelled my subscription with them and two months later I have still not received my refund.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been browsing Google and have learned a lot about how to read stats and what to look out for. However I'm not understanding what effects what.
We've increased
max_user_connections from the default 25 to 50 and
max_connections from 500 to 1,000
What area would this effect, RAM? CPU? If I'm having issues with CPU during my heavy load times, What should I look to optimize on our web site? We also disabled gzip on css/js files to prevent the server from over-working.
I've also run into the Today's stats for the server. Can someone tell me more about the part:

I currently pay $9.99 USD per month for a dedicated server to host my little news site.
The specs are 667mhz / 256Mb ram / Centos / about 20-40mbit BW on a shared 100mbit port.
Anyway, I have a possibility to have one of my articles dugg soon, as It may become popular and I am wondering.. is there anyway i can tweak this box to survive DIGG?
I'm using wordpress at the moment, with lighttpd and mysql and I could possibly just make it a static http page I guess for the digging.
I think that even with lots of tweaking and serving a static HTML page, it may still die.
SO, anyway..
My maximum budget is approximately $25 USD per month, but I'd like to spend less, ideally.
Do you think I should A) get a 2800+ sempron / 2.8ghz p4 with 1GB of ram and unmetered 10mbit / 100mbit with 1.5TB
Or shared hosting? Or a VPS? or what?
OR just stick with what I have now?
Basically it will just be news articles / blog type stuff + some images.
The reason I say 10mbit unmetered is at least I know what my bill is going to be etcetc.
