Re: Stopped Receiving Newsletters Vince Yonemitsu21-Mar-12 4:18 Vince Yonemitsu 21-Mar-12 4:18  Comcast put us on a block list a little while ago, I have been in contact with them about this and I am trying to get us removed. The orignial report from them was that we sent out too many emails and we sent them out too quickly...It's a good thing the mailers I setup only have 1 gb of ram. I have been trying to resolve this with comcast directly and hopefully it will be sorted out soon. We actively monitor our PTR, rDNS, Blacklists and other spam related concerns but it is rarely related to any of this. Typically its purely about volume or speed of delivery. We occaisonally trip AOL and Yahoo as well however they are a bit more sophisticated in that they will throttle our access so eventually everything gets through. When I hear back from comcast I'll post an update. Actually as I was typing this I just got a message back saying we were removed... I'll flush the mailqueue's and hopefully they will get through. Re: Stopped Receiving Newsletters Randor 23-Mar-12 13:06 Randor 23-Mar-12 13:06  Hmmmm Your not sending 2,000,000+ e-mails all at once are you? Back in the 1990's I was administering some high-load Unix servers and when I performed daily/weekly mailings to site members I would send A-D and wait 15 minutes then send E-H and so forth to avoid being blacklisted. When you send millions of e-mails all at once there is no way for the recieving end to distinguish a DOS attack from a legitimate mass mailing unless they have white listed the origin IP. Unfortunately it is easy to spoof the From: e-mail address... so the only way for a systems administrator to 'white list' is to use the IP of the sending server. The addresses contained in the 'Received: from' header can also be spoofed if passing through a relay.

It’s a juggling act here to try and keep our addresses clean to make sure everything gets through. To answer your question though, no we don't send out to everyone at the same time. Although, I sure would like to send them out all at once. Yes, Server side whitelisting goes either by domain or more often by IP. Domain and email level whitelisting is still something that needs to happen on the user end though as most places have implemented user defined whitelists. These are typically not done by IP. modified 26-Mar-12 14:46pm. 2 comment blocks for article R. Giskard Reventlov19-Mar-12 8:50 R.

There is an explanation above each discussion board that should make this clear, but if the explanation isn't there (or isn't clear) let me know. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: 2 comment blocks for article R.

In the edit section, the second code listing (above the picture is cut-off). If you open this link in the edit section you can see that this part of code ends with C# @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => there is a code after this statement but it is not generated here. When I go to the article and edit is this code is not cut-off. It seems to me that this > causes some problem where and ends the code on this position. I have tried to remove this => and replace it with just = . In that case code is continued to the next =>. This is very strange because I have other parts of code where I have used => but it is now cut-off there. If you need any additional info let me know. Thanks, Jovan Re: Source code is cut-off in article although it is fine in editor Sean Ewington19-Mar-12 2:58 Sean Ewington 19-Mar-12 2:58  Hi Jovan, Did you already fix this on your own? It seems OK to me now. Please let me know if all is well. I suspect it was an angle bracket that was like this: > instead of this: > Inside pre blocks our article editor requires the latter.

I have sent you separate email with screenshots.

Regards, Brandon T. H. Re: Code Project support graphics/pictures Indivara18-Mar-12 17:21 Indivara 18-Mar-12 17:21  They were supported some time ago, and removed for the very reason you mentioned. Too much trouble, I guess. Re: Code Project support graphics/pictures Slacker00718-Mar-12 23:55 Slacker007 18-Mar-12 23:55  I believe CP only supports photos and videos in articles. You can post links to pictures or videos in other forums. [edit] If we allowed pictures in CP then anyone could post anything, offensive or not. I'm talking about elephants dancing in the sunshine, if you know what I mean.

Not only from a screensize perspective, but also from the point that a smaller screensize will dramatically help member bandwidth issues in downloading the video cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Adverts overlaying video articles DaveAuld19-Mar-12 5:26 DaveAuld 19-Mar-12 5:26  Chris Maunder wrote: Could I suggest that maybe 1280 is a little too big?

While the new version hasn't been released, the old article still points to these files and now no longer works. Perhaps, it would be best to copy all files over to the working, delete the files in the working, and, once the article is approved, move everything over to the 'production'. Approving One's Own Article Andrew Rissing16-Mar-12 8:07 Andrew Rissing 16-Mar-12 8:07  I just recently used the new editor (which totally rocks) to upload a new version of my article. After doing such, I found I was able to go and approve my own article. I would assume this isn't a desired behavior. I mean, who wouldn't approve something they just submitted. Re: Approving One's Own Article Chris Maunder16-Mar-12 10:09 Chris Maunder 16-Mar-12 10:09  Currently we have no problem with you doing this but we are going to change this so you can't approve your own articles. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP
