website

I've been getting a lot of emails bouncing back.

yeah, i think Keith is working on the email issue as I brought that to his attention a week ago. i host an email server and it doesn't accept emails from correctcraftfan.com because the dns records are not configured correctly and a properly configured email server *SHOULD* be rejecting emails from correctcraftfan.com as a spam precaution. obviously, the emails coming from this site are not spam, but servers think it might be because of the mis-configuration.


M3Fan,

UNIX operating systems are much more efficient, cheaper, stable, secure, and i could really go on and on...

if Keith, ever had the desire to do this all he would have to do is ask me.



this is what i get in my mail server logs when i try and get an email from the forums to my email address::


postfix/smtpd[766]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[64.187.104.141]: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname, [64.187.104.141];from<webmaster@CorrectCraftFan.com> to=<my@emailaddress.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<CorrectCraftFan.com>


see, when you do a nslookup on 64.187.104.141 it should come back with correctcraftfan.com but instead it doesn't come back. the ip probably needs a PTR record added in DNS.

I knew I smelled a setup!

I'm not going to argue one technology over another. What I will jump on is a broad generalization that changing the platform will speed up a site. That's just a blind, silly shotgun statement and is not realistic input. Yeah, Keith will just "port it over to unix". He'll just press the big button on the server that says "PORT TO UNIX" and it'll be awesome. Arguing about one platform over another is a waste of time and a crutch when talking about programming.

Have you considered "Starboard to Unix" ?

pass the handle of Beam HW and grab me a couple of cokes.

totally lost on this one.

only thing I understand (kinda) is I don't get any e-mail thru the site anymore either.

yep, i've been getting all my emails again. good job on that!

yes, but they are somewhat rare. i was searching around the site last night and got a few of them. i can't remember what the exact error was but i think it's a timeout error.

yeah, i've been having a real hard time searching lately, every other search times out and the search really chokes if you use more than one word.

88 brochure doesn't work

How about the '89? Permission issue?

Hey Hollywood,
The 1989 brochure and 1988 brochure are now fixed.

Thanks!

Keith, thats great! I was just playing around with it and there seems to be something wrong with the "all words" type of search. With multiple search words, its not narrowing down the number of results compared to an "any word" search.

On another note, Ive updated my profile to display my Tique under my name, but it doesnt show up when I post. Hard refresh didnt help- its been like this for a week or so, multiple computers. Strange.

Just wanted to say Thanks!!! And if someone can pass me a beer and a handle, I'll be out on the water!!!!

Thanks & Keep Up The Great Site,
Matthew - Cleveland, OH.
