You're on Linux, so perhaps you're using PHP. My thought is, can you set the header in some include file that is part of every page? It would have to be output before other content of course. Just a thought. Tim

I have it running on one client's site and my own site. Both are very low usage. Other than my posts, there's no activity on mine. ;( Tim

Of my downed sites, all but one are indeed pretty old. I wouldn't have guessed 2.5 for some of them. But, that's probably right. Anyway, thanks for the explanation. It would be nice to get more details in response to the tickets so I could look a little more in-tune to my clients. How about...

Thanks. But why? These sites have been working fine, some for years. Now overnight they all have to be reset? Did I miss some CP upgrade notice? And what's the pattern...I have multiple sites under some accounts where one is down and the other is working. I don't get it. Tim

Re: Can I do anything about scammers using my website name and address in their email You mentioned being worried about SEO if you put up some sort of notice. If it were me, I'd use jquery (or your favorite javascript library) to do something like one of these options: 1) After the page is...

Best would be to restrict the input on the client side. I mean, you could round up/down or use the floor/ceil functions in PHP after the data is submitted. But instead, using something like a jQuery forms plug in, you could do that on the client side--this would give instant feedback to the...

I have a bunch sites down with this type of error. Content is all there, was working yesterday, now I get a 404. I submitted a ticket for one this morning and just updated that ticket with the rest of the downed sites. I have clients calling all upset and I have nothing to tell them. This is...

It sounds like the search is keying off the wrong info, say a user ID that is hard-coded rather than dynamic. Is this a prebuilt Joomla component/extension or something you wrote? If it's something someone else built, you'll have to ask them what's up. If it's yours, post the query and a summary...

Here's a thread with the form and instructions: http://support.jodohost.com/showthread.php?t=3708&highlight=bulk+mail+form

We've got two similar threads going here. See my note on http://support.jodohost.com/showthread.php?p=69265&posted=1#post69265 Tim

PHPMailer uses a mix of object properties and methods for setting required values. So, while you can do $mail->From = '[email protected]' you can't do that with the To addresses. It's a bit confusing. Maybe this will help? Here's a simplified version of a function I use to send mail. I set...

Too many in bcc is a red flag for some spam filters I've been told. If you're already doing batches, why not do individual emails to each address (on the To line)? Tim

For spam reasons, mail() has been restricted to sending to domains hosted at JodoHost for about as long as I've been hosting sites here (years). You need to implement SMTP Authentication, which is not supported by mail(). Hence the thread about phpMailer, which is a script that does support SMTP...

To use PHP mailer with SMTP auth, you would need lines like the following: $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); // tells the class to use SMTP rather than mail() $mail->SMTPAuth = true; // tells the class to use SMTP Auth $mail->Username = 'address@ example.com'; $mail->Password =...

That's the standard way to use SMTP Auth. Are you saying we no longer need to use authentication? It's in all my custom code. I'd have to check in the CMS/forums, as I'm sure they use that line if I fill in SMTP authentication values in their forms (which I've always done). The two sites I...

Tanmaya, I checked two of my sites and they are working. I'm just being lazy in not wanting to check the other dozen! :P I guess no one is complaining so I won't worry. Kidding aside, I figured that if there was some change that I needed to make based on your fixes for purealter, I'd...

Stephen, please post updates or at least let us know what changes we need to make to get our sites working. I have dozens using phpmailer in various ways (pre-built CMSs, forums, custom code, form mailers, etc.). Testing them all will be difficult and expensive. Thanks, Tim

A plug for my (hopefully) spam-bot proof form mailer. It wraps phpmailer with various anti-spam scraper techniques: http://skypanther.com/spmailer.php Tim

Home A friend suggested I look for apps with memory leaks. Or, bad RAM. I'll run memtest86 this evening after work. Haven't had a chance to check for mem leaks, though I know Firefox is a prime candidate. Tim

I have a Windows XP question that I'll admit is probably best suited for a different forum. But I'm not exactly sure where to turn. And, not knowing how to phrase the question is keeping me from just finding an answer by googling. I'm hitting an odd limit on the number of windows I can have...
