General Software Discussion / Re: Dealing with spam

Sounds very nice, just keep in mind that most emails don't go through an entirely secure path when travelling through the internet, so even if you, as the final link use encrypted access, it's still possible for people to snoop on your mails through previous links.
-f0dder (January 06, 2008, 10:26 AM)

Yes, I understand. Let me clarify what I meant. I make a secured connection to IMAP. My password and my traffic to and from the email server is encrypted. If I wish to send the email out as encrypted, Tuffmail supports PGP fully. Even through the web client.

And Dreamhost. Yes, they once were waaaaaaaaaaay oversold, but they are now a rock'n hosting company. I have left several mom & pop hosting services, 1 & 1, GoDaddy, and PEHosting, and moved everything to Dreamhost. (Except email at Tuffmail)

What do you say: Should I remove my old 'mini' StarBurn (GiveAway from 26 October 2007) before installing this new 'full' Shark version?  :tellme:
-Curt (January 06, 2008, 09:53 AM)

Yes, they have explicitly said that this is an upgrade to that with new features previously only available in the $500 version.

Not too sure how much I like the greylisting idea. Interesting, but if it becomes widely used and effective, the spammers have an easy work around.
-bscott (January 06, 2008, 10:04 AM)

Greylisting with Tuffmail is specific to your account, and you choose what gets greylisted by the settings you choose. You can turn it up or down and they have a few presets for you to use.

If they are all based off of the open source code, we should download it and compile it. All the screenshots look like Windows 3.1.

I use Tuffmail as my email hosting provider. I can't recommend them enough. Small shop. One man, I believe. Customer service is excellent. Their feature set is top notch. I have very little problem with spam. One of the nicest thing is that it is so easy to do server side spam rejection. I'm talking checkbox easy! What gets through that then must run the gauntlet of Spam Assassin. By default you have three Inboxes: Inbox, Junkmail, and Discard. These are basically your green, yellow, and red. I don't keep track, but I can't get any more than one or two true spam emails in my inbox. Things that have passed the gauntlet but still look a bit fishy go in Junkmail. If somebody sent me a legitimate email and I didn't get it in my ebox, this is usually where it is. The stuff in Discard is five nines spam. I use the web front end (imp3/4, squirrelmail, and they're testing Roundcube (AJAX). Everything I do with them is secured, which matters when I connect through my workplace. They even have LDAP address book support. When at home I connect using Thunderbird via IMAP.

I don't get any kickbacks. I am just a fanboy customer. They have a 30 Day free trial plus a 30 day money back guarantee. I think this is where I am supposed to say, "You can't afford NOT to try it!!!"  :greenclp:

I almost forgot to mention that Sieve filtering comes with every address as well.

techidave,

Why don't you go round up some of your k-12 buddies and come up with some "Coding Snacks For Educators". Have them join DC and contribute to the conversation. One of my New Years anti-resolutions was to do a coding snack each month for 2008. It would be nice to have at least one be for educators.

E v e r y b o d y knows Tinjaw always has spare change when it comes to opinions. So here's my two cents.

What matters...
1) Content
2) Content
3) Content
4) Usability/Readability
5) Colors, themes, etc., provided they don't conflict with rule #4, are the choice of the creator and reflect their personality and the personality they wish the sight to have.

You have good content. I am getting a feel for your, and your sight's personality. You may continue.  8)

It's not a very good example, but I am interested to see what you folks can come up with.

P.S.  I just love this site for all the helpful software and tips you guys offer.  I wish there was more stuff tailored to the K-12 education sector.
-techidave (January 05, 2008, 06:18 PM)

Welcome to the site techidave! Nice "first post". And I think you have a very good idea there. You should start your own thread. Go ahead. It's easy. We'll wait here. If we are not here when you get back will be in that "other" thread.  ;)

I think we need to get mouser to install a plugin. Let's split off a new thread.

Doh! Here I was replying to the last post on page 6 and I didn't realize there was already a page 7! I'm falling behind.

And let's just say that Silicon dating will get you more information than Carbon dating will concerning my origin. (Especially since Carbon only runs on Macs)

And before anybody else feels the need to chime in... Yes, I know! It is all set out it black and white in "The Origin of Feces".

There is already the "Notify" feature to follow a thread. What I would like is a "Ignore" thread so I can filter out threads that I am not interested in. I would prefer they don't show up when I "Show unread posts since last visit" after I have marked them as "Ignore".
