Re: [nlug] Certificates question

I'm not an Android expert, by any means, but in my experience with Android, there is a Gmail app that interacts with Gmail (and Google Apps) accounts and a separate Email account that checks other kinds of email accounts (POP, IMAP, etc.) Are you using the right app to set up email on your phone?

Re: [nlug] BLACKLISTED- calling all webadmins, dedicated server compromised / sending spam

Do you have the ability to upload an ISO and boot from a diagnostic CD image or something? If you do, you might want to try running Memtest, then some kind of hard drive diagnostic (or even a simple LiveCD, to see if that can run with stability.) Chris On Mon, Jul 20, 2015 at 2:30 PM, Andrew
