    What is so great about 99.9% uptime?

    Me 1 - Spammers 19762

    Well, I seem to have got one up on those darn spammers on my vBulletin forum. I just installed a hack that adds any new user's first 10 posts to the moderation queue if they contain certain keywords or any URL's. Seems to be working so far!

    I know you all hate these "please look at my site" threads.

    But I just need some help "link walking". I've tried every link I can see but I'm never 100%. Can some of you hit http://sandbox.docupro.co.uk/ before I put it live and tell me if you see any problems of any kind?

    Email software

    Hi guys, I'm looking for some Windows (2003 compliant) software to run my emails on my webserver. I'm not so keen on installing Exchange on a web server (not to mention the fact that I don't want to start active directory and make everyone log on yet!) I need the following features: POP3 /...

    Remote installation of Windows 2003

    Guys, How can I remotely install Windows 2003 (web edition) onto a Linux box over the internet? I've created an ISO image and am currently uploading it to the server. I assume I have to mount the ISO image and point the server to boot from that mount. If so, step 1 is pretty straightforward...

    SMTP errors in the event log

    I wrote a mini app (And it really is mini - I think the title bar still has "Form1" in it) to view all the smtp errors int the event log and export them to a text file. This can help you diagnose problems sending email to a particular domain. (Just search the text file for the domain) The app...

    Spam tactics

    Is it a new tactic to bombard an email address with hundreds of the same emails? It's happened a few times to me now and it seems to be the latest venture in the hope that you open one of them to see how important it was to be sent 300 times! Or maybe by page 7 of your web-based email you'll...
