EasyMail What is spam? What are your policies regarding spam? Spam is unsolicited email or newsgroup postings, usually advertising products or services. Spamming (sending junk email) generates a very negative response from most of its recipients. Since it is best to avoid this, we enforce a strict Anti-Spamming Policy. According to our policy, if you send spam from your domain, your account will be terminated. To ensure that you do not unintentionally generate spam, please obtain permission from your intended recipients before you add them to your distribution list. What is EasyMail? EasyMail removes 100% of the hassle and frustration associated with administering local mail services. It completely eliminates the need for specialized hardware on your premises. We run it all for you from our network and give you access to our innovative EasyMail Wizard! remote email administration tools. The EasyMail Wizard! assists you with all aspects of running a corporate email network. You can change your employees' Internet email addresses, delete old accounts and create new ones, all from one simple interface. Are EasyMail accounts POP3 accounts? All EasyMail accounts are POP3 accounts. This means that your mail sits on our servers until you download it to your email software. Can I check my EasyMail with Microsoft Outlook, Eudora or Netscape Mail? Yes, you can use any of these email programs to send and receive your mail. All you need to do is configure them to download incoming mail (POP3, IMAP) and send outgoing mail (SMTP). Do you offer email forwarding? Yes, you can forward your EasyMail accounts to any existing email account, whether it's on our servers or not. It's easier than forwarding a call on your phone! How do I use your WebMail feature? To check your mail online, use our new WEB BASED email client by accessing webmail.yourdomain.com: Using your username and password, you can check your mail from anywhere in the world. Remember, your email will not function correctly until domain name propagation is complete. This typically takes between 24 and 48 hours. Can I use the Auto Responder with an Alias account? No, the Auto Responder feature works for POP accounts only, no forwards allowed either. I have exceeded my Disk Quota Limit and cannot send email. If you have exceeded your Email Disk Storage limit and are unable to send messages, please perform the following steps to remove mail from the server: Using Outlook Express:
The above procedure will remove your messages from the server and save them to your PC, freeing up disk space on the server for your email account. After completing the above steps, you will be able to send mail normally by the following day. If you wish to leave messages on the server, we suggest that you rotate/remove messages after a period of 7 days. To do so, please do the following:
I was asked to submit full header information to the technical support department. What is that? In Microsoft Outlook:
In Microsoft Outlook Express:
In WebMail:
What are the generic mail settings for configuring an email client? The generic mail settings for your email account should be setup in your software as follows: POP: mail.yourdomain.com SMTP: mail.yourdomain.com Username: emailaccount.yourdomain.com (i.e. - john.johndoe.com) Password: your password For step-by-step client specific (Outlook, Eudora, etc.) setup instructions, please see our General Help manual. How often are the email usage statistics in the EasyMail setup updated? The statistics for email disk usage is updated on a nightly basis. Any email received through WebMail, will be counted towards disk usage for that day. Please check the email disk usage tool on the following day for an updated total for all of your email accounts. I just deleted and recreated an email account. An error returns that says, "Cannot login, authentication error". It was working before, why isn't it working now! The deletion of EasyMail accounts are queued for execution once a day, overnight. When an account is deleted and re-created on the same day, a new email password must be created. The password previously used on the account prior to deletion cannot be used again. If it is, an authentication failure or "login error" will occur when you attempt to log in to your account. If desired, the password can be changed back to the original password after a 24 hour period. I get a relaying denied error, SMTP Authentication, Can't deliver mail error. Our system is designed to work with SMTP authentication (enabling instructions below). We do however have a backup system that may take up to one minute to enable mail delivery without SMTP authentication causing the 'Relaying Denied' error. Subsequent attempts should result in successful mail delivery. To enable SMTP authentication on Outlook Express:
My email messages appear to come in batches via a POP client. There are times that mail appears to be delivered in batches. This is caused by aggressive POP clients that check their mail rapidly and frequently. Each time your mail is checked, your email box locks and your mail is not added to the POP version of email. Approximately 90 seconds later it will attempt to re-send all of the waiting messages. To prevent this from happening, we recommend that you set your mail client to check for mail every 20 minutes. I am receiving double email messages in my inbox. If you continuously change from POP to WebMail, you may receive duplicate messages if you set "Leave Mail on Server" to "On" within your email client. The following are possible solutions:
Why can't I delete messages through my WebMail service? There are times when a 50 MB business class email account approaches or is above the 50 MB storage limit, the deletion of email from the server locks up. We suggest that you check your EasyMail Setup in your WebsiteOS control panel to ensure that the account is almost or above your 50 MB limit. If so, perform one of the following steps to successfully remove email from your account: a. To remove all messages on the server or to delete them, you must delete and re-create the account through your EasyMail Setup in your WebsiteOS. You will be required to create a new email password at this time. b. To remove a limited amount of email from your account, create a POP account using an email client such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, or Eudora. Download all of your messages via POP and then proceed to remove the unwanted emails. c. Should you wish to keep all of the remaining messages on the server, remove the POP settings in your mail client (keeping the SMTP settings) and proceed to forward all email to the same email address. d. You can use third-party software to remove specific messages, such as "Email Remover". My email messages are in my WebMail, but not in my POP client. There are times that your email will be delivered in WebMail and still not delivered in POP. This is caused by aggressive POP clients that check their mail rapidly. Every time your web-based email is checked the mailbox is locked and the mail will not be added to the POP version of email. Approximately 90 seconds later it will attempt to re-send the message. To prevent this from happening, we recommend that you set your mail client to check for mail every 20 minutes. WebsiteOS What is the WebsiteOS? This browser based website management application allows you to manage many aspects of your website. Using this application, you can:
Why can't I login to the WebsiteOS? If you have trouble logging in to the WebsiteOS, several easy solutions could solve your problem.

Do you have a Secure Server (SSL) in place that I can use? Yes, our SSL is available on the Silver and higher hosting packages. Do I need my own certificate for SSL? No, you can use our generic certificate. How do I setup my SSL site? All you need to do is access the SSL Manager within the WebsiteOS. How do I access my site with your generic certificate? Your site will be accessible using the following URL: Site - https://www.secure2.securewebexchange.com/theirdomain.com/ Do I get a secure cgi-bin as well? Your cgi-bin will be accessible using the following URL: CGI - https://www.secure2.securewebexchange.com/theirdomain.com/cgi-bin/ Where do I place my content for the SSL with your general certificate? You'll need to place your content inside the directory called "secure" in your home directory. This directory is a symbolic link to the securewebexchange domain. Any CGI programs should be placed inside the "secure-cgi-bin" directory. How can I purchase my own certificate? If you want your own certificate, we can assist you in obtaining it. Contact us or use the SSL Manager to generate a private key and an electronic certificate request (CSR) with our SSL software (OpenSSL). You will need to supply us with your desired name for the secure site (www.domain.com, domain.com, etc.), the company name, operational division (if desired) and address (including city, province/state and country code). The CSR (which we will send to you via email) will have to be sent to a Certificate Authority, along with "Proof of Organizational Name" and "Proof of right to use Domain Name". The "Proof of Organizational Name" in most cases is a copy of your customer's company registration documents or certificate of incorporation. The "Proof of the right to use Domain Name" in most cases is a printout your whois information. There are exceptions to both proofs. Contact your Certificate Authority for their exact specifications before sending any documents. If you are using Thawte, this information can be found at: http://www.thawte.com. While we recommend Thawte Consulting for SS certificates, you are free to choose any Certificate Authority. How do I download the certificate? After the Certificate Authority generates the certificate, you will be notified to download the certificate. After the certificate is downloaded, it has to be emailed to us at support@24hourwebhostingsupport.com. Where do I place my content for the SSL with my own certificate? Once we receive the certificate, your secure site will be setup. Secure content will be placed in the "secure" directory located in your site's home directory. CGI scripts are to be placed in the "secure-cgi-bin" directory. Bandwidth What is bandwidth Bandwidth is the amount of information that is transferred from your website to people surfing your site. For example, if your first page is 10KB and 100 people go to your page in a month, you've used 1000KB or 1MB. Each hosting package we have offers a different amount of bandwidth transfer per month. Please see our Packages section for specific details. What if I go over my allotted bandwidth transfer? You will be contacted by email or by phone if you exceed your bandwidth transfer for the month. How can I tell how much bandwidth I'm using? Simply login to the WebsiteOS and look at "Account Information" on the left hand side or you can click on Web Stats and Display Report.

The following limitations will be placed on ALL CGI scripts: CPU TIME = 10 Seconds This is the amount of CPU time one CGI program can use at a given time. MAXIMUM FILESIZE = 100 KBytes This is the maximum size that one CGI script can reach MAXIMUM STACK SIZE = 8 MBytes This is the amount of stack memory that can be used by any CGI program. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PROCESSES = 32 Processes This is the number of processes that can be created by the CGI program at a given time. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF OPEN FILES = 32 Open Files This is the number of files that can be opened by the CGI program at a given time. What version of Perl is supported? 5.005_03 What path do I use to call Perl? /usr/bin/perl What path do I use to call sendmail? /usr/sbin/sendmail I'm getting 'Internal server error' running my Perl script. What's wrong? When executed, you must print an HTTP header followed by a blank line. The header must contain either a Content-type field or a Location field. eg. print "Content-type: text/htmlnn"; You have incorrectly set the path to Perl in your script.

I'm trying to use a Microsoft Access database but I'm getting this error; "MDAC - Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot open database '(unknown)'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes or the file may be corrupt." The latest MDAC (version 2.7), which is currently installed on our system, is not compatible with Access 97 databases. Although your database may have worked initially, once you write data to the database it will throw this error. In our shared hosting environment, our main focus is security. In order for us to maintain our strict security model, our operating systems must be updated with current service packs and patches. If this is an Access 2000 database, it is likely that it has been corrupted. Can I use the LOAD DATA LOCAL for MySQL? This specific command poses a security issue and has been disabled. To work around the issue, We have a number of options available to you, including: Work around for phpMyAdmin: If the file is the result of a MySQL dump then they can cut/copy&paste the contents into the query window Work around for MySQL-Front: Using version 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 (and not 2.5), simply use the "Import Textfile" function to import .CSV files. REFERENCES FROM http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA_LOCAL.html: 4.2.4 Security issues with LOAD DATA LOCAL In MySQL 3.23.49 and MySQL 4.0.2, we added some new options to deal with possible security issues when it comes to LOAD DATA LOCAL. There are two possible problems with supporting this command: As the reading of the file is initiated from the server, one could theoretically create a patched MySQL server that could read any file on the client machine that the current user has read access to, when the client issues a query against the table. In a web environment where the clients are connecting from a web server, a user could use LOAD DATA LOCAL to read any files that the web server process has read access to (assuming a user could run any command against the SQL server). There are two separate fixes for this: If you don't configure MySQL with --enable-local-infile, then LOAD DATA LOCAL will be disabled by all clients, unless one calls mysql_options(... MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE, 0) in the client. See section 8.4.3.163 mysql_options(). For the mysql command-line client, LOAD DATA LOCAL can be enabled by specifying the option --local-infile[=1], or disabled with --local-infile=0. By default, all MySQL clients and libraries are compiled with --enable-local-infile, to be compatible with MySQL 3.23.48 and before. One can disable all LOAD DATA LOCAL commands in the MySQL server by starting mysqld with --local-infile=0. In the case that LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is disabled in the server or the client, you will get the error message (1148): The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version.
