You guys may have noticed the BeginThread.com email server has been dragging
lately - I certainly have.
Since I started BeginThread.com technology has taken me off in several
different directions. I have opened my own computer security services
company www.ComputerSecurityResearch.com (we've stopped over 26,000 attacks
contenent-wide in the last 6 months), and now I've started a partnership in
a hosting company www.ForHosting.Info (want a web site for $2/mo? - drop me
an email).
Our hosting server is very accomodating for the needs that BeginThread.com
has - email lists, easy web language support, database backends, etc...
With only one catch, it runs on linux/apache so ISAPI is not supported,
which is what was used to write the web portion of BeginThread.com. Ehsan
will be porting the web portion over to php and BeginThread.com will go
through a design change when he does.
Back to the email server. I've been waiting to get my registrar entries
away from network solutions (a real pain btw) and into a registrar that
gives me better control (RegisterFly.com). Well after about a month I
finally got netsol to give them up. Now that they've been released I'm
going to start hosting BeginThread.com email on our hosting server. This
transition will last through this week, usually the type of DNS change that
I'm going to do will only take 24 hours, sometimes up to 48. So, this week
the list might be a little bumpy, but once we get through it the mail
performance will go up drastically. Also, there will be a searchable
archive, and if someone can help me get the email history up to this point
into the new list, all of the list emails will be in the online archive.
The mail list software is mailman 2.1.2.
Thanks for all of your support.
