USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-08-2003 07:57 PM                        Umm...Brad...why do you need a dedicated mail server? The old Unix server handled mail and web service quite nicely with plenty of cycles to spare. :razz:  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-08-2003 08:14 PM                     No it didn't. It had the same issues, remember? You just don't like Windows. I think the trick is to get mail off of the web server. We'll find out real soon.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

There came a point where spam filtering caused to many issues when running on the pop3 server. Sure, most of the time the server wasn't doing anything... just waiting for SpamAssassin. Anyway, setting up a seperate gateway to filter for spam and scan for virii worked great. Mind you that was under NetBSD... who knows how it'll work under Win32. Probably just as good.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-09-2003 07:37 PM                        I think you should run it under BeOS or NeXt. Or better yet on an Amiga.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-10-2003 12:11 AM                        Joe, I hope you were joking about using an Amiga. I used to use Amigas quite a bit when I did video work. have you ever heard of VideoToaster 4000? That was a great system for its time. Ive never really seen them used outside of the TV imdustry.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-11-2003 03:48 AM                        I have signed up everyone with an e-mail address registered with Film-Tech for a lifetime subscription to Tail Wagging Offers. Now you can simply tell the people who send other spam to you that you do not need it, & to please stop. This should help the spam problem.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Bob, it appears that you have 142 posts in the last 12 months, which would be nearly 12 a month. You've got nothing to worry about trying to attain 10 posts a month. The sneak preview section access restrictions were modified based on feedback received from new and old members alike. To be fair to new members that were participating, we believe that the 10 posts per month policy was best. Likewise, we didn't think it was fair that people who haven't posted in well over a year, still had access to the sneak preview section (and there were people like this) solely because they made 50 posts once upon a time. Sean, I've got an Amiga in my closet, or maybe it's under my bed... in either case, maybe I'll set it up as our virii scanning gateway.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-11-2003 04:12 AM                  Edit to add the above smilies. Daryl: Who is "we"? Do you have a frog in your pocket? No one, not even the Grand PooBah, asked me as an old or new member what I thought was right. I say this cuz who the hell knows what makes someone an "old" or "new" member! I do think that the revised policy is Please see my above post as to what the requirements should be.... >>> Phil [ 07-11-2003, 02:03 PM: Message edited by: Phil Hill ]  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-11-2003 04:36 AM                     Who do you think he was talking about Phil? And you have no post above. I looked all the way to the top, then for kicks I looked back a few pages. Nothing there. Next I guess you will be complaining about how we are going to ban everyone with a rhyming first and last name from the sneak preview section just for kicks.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-11-2003 04:46 AM                        My friend has a Video Toaster 4000/Amiga. It does a fantastic job collecting dust in his closet. He says he'll probably just throw it out.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-11-2003 03:47 PM                        hey if your friend will ship it to me ill pay for the shipping.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-11-2003 04:52 PM                     Always the begger....  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-04-2003 11:18 PM                     I've got a question about the little arrow that appears to the right of topic titles. I know it's supposed to function like a "resume" feature for each thread but sometimes it just takes me to the top of a thread. I'm wondering about what conditions will cause that feature to malfunction.  |  IP: Logged
