yes i think i maybe know that already. no, there are more than the utf-8
unicode transform out there, utf-16 is sometimes used, utf-32 exists but is
very rare now. there is no "only UTF-8". in any case, its *all* unicode.

thats hardly a reason not to use unicode. the vast majority of latin-1 text
uses chars in the first 128 codepoints. the folks who designed & built
unicode weren't dumb.

non-standard, too much complexity, blah, blah, blah. there are reasons why

i can't imagine why. arial unicode ms has been around way longer than 2
years and there were plenty of other unicode capable fonts back then.

international ms office comes with arial unicode ms, thats got everything
(and i do mean everything) in it for 10-12mb. normal windows' installs have
a couple-three "unicode" fonts but most all TT will cover some bits of
unicode. on windows open up your character map tool, you will see that even
venerable times roman has hebrew & arabic in it.

Multiple tabs in excel

2003-09-24 Thread
Hi Steve,

1. Start with your resulting Excel workbook.  Build it to look exactly how
you want the finished product to look.
2. Save [it] As HTML.  Often times this will generate more then 1 file.
Especially if you have >1 tab/worksheet.
3. Then use CF to dynamically build these files. 
4. Lastly use  to redirect to the start page when finished.   

I have some code that does this if you want to e-mail me off list.

Irresponsible ISPs and servers

2003-09-24 Thread Claude Schneegans
While I was searching for email address validator software, I found this:

« WW ProxEmail - The World Wide ProxEmail 1.0 script will allow you to use your 
servers mail server without revealing your PC's IP address in your mailings.
For example, if you use mass mailing software from your PC and you connect to your 
SMTP server to send mail with this software, most of the time, the IP address of your 
PC is included in the mail headers. This IP can be used to file SPAM complaints 
against you to your ISP or also allow attacks to be launched against your IP address.
You can also use this with mail programs such as Outlook and Eudora.  Two scripts are 
included.  You must have shell access or cron access, or some other way to execute 
software on your server. »

Now how come a responsible ISP could accept an eMail coming from one of his customers 
connected to HIS server,
using a temporary IP address HE provided him, and not containing this IP address so 
"SPAM complaints against
the sender" cannot be filed?

It says "[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a valid deliverable e-mail box address."
but "[EMAIL PROTECTED] is not a valid deliverable e-mail box address."
Others I tried said it was valid.

However, it also says that "[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a valid deliverable e-mail box

Your server is cheating ;-)

Hmmm, interesting. I think blocking messages from invalid addresses would not be 
realistic, since
responses from servers are not reliable, either both ways.
But how about blocking non existing domains? I do not see any valid message that would
pretend having been sent by an address from a domain that does not exists?

The reason is that most spam uses spoofed FROM addresses.  Much advertising
email indicated a "do not reply" as the from address.  These prevent mail loops

Re: Verifying an email address exists

2003-09-24 Thread Doug White
The Posffix server, (free) which runs in Linux, has this verification feature
built-in, should the admin choose to enable it.  It will also do a reverse
lookup if that is enabled.   The option is to flag the mail, or just drop the
connection with the incoming mail server.  For instance RoadRunner does block
based on the reverse lookup, and consequently many emails addressed to
RoadRunner customers are summarily blocked, whether the customer has requested
it or not.  This causes a big loss of legitimate email.

I have not enabled either of the features on my Postfix server, because them it
would block all email coming from private servers, (such as this list) and
restrict the sender to only major ISP mail accounts. What is enabled is a list
of open-relay or open proxy databases, as a first line of defense, then the
message is passed through the anti-virus scanner, (not free) followed by pattern
analysis by Spam Assassin.  This combination catches about 22% of all message
traffic which passes through my gateway, destined for some 50-70 domains who
subscribe to the service.  Thus far no legitimate email has been blocked, and
the customers report around a 98% drop in spam.  A few sender domains are
blocked at the router due to attempts to flood the server with spam, most of
these are China, Korea, Brazil, or Italy.

Interestingly, most spam originates in the US, but is commonly routed via open
relays offshore.

You shouldn't need the pound signs - and I think that the way you've got

temperature = leak2[getKey2][3]

RE: Multiple tabs in excel

2003-09-24 Thread Samuel Neff
You can do it using standard HTML as long as the user has either Excel 2002
or Excel 2000 + Web Archive Filter (free install from ms site).

The trick is you have to create a couple of files that mimic the several
HTML files created when you save a multi-sheet workbook as HTML and then
package the whole thing up as a Web Archive (MM term for standard
Multipart-MIME).  

I have a presentation on my site about creating Word docs via HTML/XML/CSS
that includes a few Web Archive examples as well as a Multipart-MIME CFC to
help create web archives.

http://www.rewindlife.com/archives/32.cfm

Separate post specifically about the Multipart-MIME CFC:

http://www.rewindlife.com/archives/33.cfm


I'm working on an Excel example now as part of my MAX presentation (topic is
comparing many methods of working with Office: Automation, OWC, DSO, Jet,
HTML, XML, etc).  I'll have a Breezo of the presentation and all examples on
my blog after MAX if you can't attend.

Re[2]: Verifying an email address exists

just to add my own monkey wrench to the proceedings - the new verisign
"site-finder" (#*&[EMAIL PROTECTED]) will mess up any systems that check
for an existing dns record / server for a domain, as all domains will
resolve...

Also it may prove to be a rather long process.
If they do it, there must be a way to do it, but I suppose I will have to program 
directly
with the SMTP protocol, which I don't know.

Structure of arrays

2003-09-24 Thread Ray Bujarski
I am trying to set a variable from an element of an array in a
structure:

temperature = #leak2["#getKey2#"][3]#


However I get the following error:
You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class
java.math.BigDecimal as a structure with members.

GetKey2 is a string variable that I set (it is the key of the structure
that I want to retrieve), and the value of element 3 is of type float
that I want from the array. Temperature is the variable I am trying to
set, and Leak2 is the structure of arrays obviously. 

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?  I have never nested complex
data types.
Thanks,
Ray

RE: Verifying an email address exists

2003-09-24 Thread cfhelp
I am sure there is a script that will do this. ArgoSoft mail server has an
"Aggressive Verification" option.

This is from the help file.

"Agressive" Verification - if this option is enabled, then server will
actually, in real time, perform the test, whether it is possible to send a
reply to that address.  Of course, will not send any email to that address,
it will just pick up MX records for that domain, and check whether exchanger
explicitly rejects an address.  If this option is not enabled, then server
will not attempt to connect to exchangers, it will just check whether a
domain name of MAIL FROM address exists.

So I bet this is available is some C++ script. Contact ArgoSoft to see if
they will tell you anything. Also checkout http://www.argostuff.com/

I honestly don't know what you expect.

If this ACTUALLY worked, then spam would be even worse than it currently is.
All they can possibly do is check that a domain exists.

Most if not all mail servers will not respond with an ackowledgment if a
email does or does not exist.

If you need to know if an email is valid, send it an email with a validation

RE: Auto Pinging Script? Thanks!

2003-09-24 Thread Nick Baker
Dang it! I was the original poster then had to go visit a customer. Seems I 
missed a lot of fun.

I appreciate all the folks who immediately homed in on the intent and 
provided valuable input. Matt Robertson, John Paul Ashenfelter and Howard 
Owens to name a few, gave me some great places to start.

For Doug and others who might be concerned I will add this in hopes of 
giving you some peace of mind. Here is our reasoning and strategy. We own 
several domain names and manage domains for others. Long ago we decided to 
1. outsource hosting and 2. not rely on only one provider -- one reason is 
that we found performance/loading was often (on a long term basis) 
progressively deteriorating. Or, more like a saw blade pattern -- once the 
hosting service became sufficiently loaded they would add additional 
capacity. And, look good for awhile. And, on a short term basis we often 
experienced significant performance variations during a 24 hour period. 
Meaning we don't put a whole lot of faith in one time samples. Especially 
when provided by the hosting service. No disrespect. Let's face it, in a 
competitive environment there is a little sales spin in even the purist.

Our approach is to always be using three active hosts, located in different 
geographical areas. The goal is to setup a scheme (if within technical and 
practical means) where approx every 20 minutes a domain from each host will 
ping a domain on the others. Timing the response. Then we will monitor 
these for patterns or trends. Taking that one step further we will 
periodically monitor other CF hosts that we are interested in using in the 
event that one we currently have goes South. And, we have seen many a 
change hosting services ownership.

And, before some says it -- this ain't perfect, but we feel it is the best 
scheme we can come up with to satisfy our needs. Assuming we can make it work.

Re: Verifying an email address exists

2003-09-24 Thread Bryan Stevenson
hehe...thanks Doug...that's the parent site or verifyemail.com

I did some testing and it's not all that accurate.  I tested
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (my address) and it verified it as real.  Then
I tested [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it said it was real.

Both those tests were performed without the "catch all" option selected.

OT: CC Processing and Recurring Billing

2003-09-24 Thread Benjamin Rosenthal
I've been pretty happy using a Wells Fargo internet only merchant account
with Verisign's Payflow Pro + recurring billing option.  Free setup (with a
coupon code), and $29 a month for visa, mastercard, and discover.  They
store the CC number and handle the recurring charges automatically.

Help with Transact SQL

2003-09-24 Thread Frank Mamone
Hi,

I need help with an update query using transact SQL.

I need to modify the data in record set in the following way.

The field contains a URL like this:

/path1/path2/rest_of_path

I need to change it to:

http://an_absolute_path/new_path_1/path2/rest_of_path

So everything stays the same from path2 on.

Thanks in advance for your help.

OK..found ithttp://www.verifyemail.com/

I would imagine you could easily use CFHTTP to post e-mail addresses to
their verification form and then parse the results to get the answer you're
after (of course they may not want you to do thisservice is
free..haven't read the terms and conditions yet though)

There is at least 1 site out there that will verify if an e-mail address is
real (I think it was something along the lines of www.verifymail.com).  It
isn't 100% accurate, but it sure beats just checking the address format.  I

Subject: How to convert an object to a string (XML)

Hi all,

I have been working with some XML files that are being sent to us.  We
were using a third party application to process them, but when we
switched over to MX, it no longer works.  I found out how to use the
xmlparse function to work with my xml file.  But after I do some
processing to the data in the structure, I want to write it out to a
file.  When I do this, I am not getting the xml back.  How do I convert
the XML back to a string before I write it to the drive?

Hé hé, this one is interesting: I rapidly tested 3 addresses in messages received from

Now I'd like to see how they're doing that and how to do it in CF... ;-/

Then CF can't do this, and since this is a technique that has been in use by spammers 
for years to harvest email addresses, you will find the capability to respond to such 
a request is routinely blocked by the mail server admin.

>>CFPOP can do that, but you need to be able to log in to the acct.

Well, I can't and I do not want to log to the account.

Actually, I was thinking of some tool to eleminate part of junk mail.
Many spam messages come from addreses created on a server, ( like AOL or hotmail, for 
instance)
just for the time it takes to send a bunch of messages, then they just vanish.
I want to ckeck how many messages could just be destroyed just by checking if the 
sender's
address exists.
If you receive a message from an address that does not exist. chances are not far from 
100% that it will
not interest you ;-/

RE: Auto Pinging Script?

2003-09-24 Thread Owens, Howard
There's also a site out there (and I too lost all my bookmarks) that gives
you historical "up" reports on any domain you ask it to monitor.  It will
tell you the last time the server was rebooted, what os and server its
running, and how often it's been rebooted. I think it even tells you how
long it was down for if it's down.  If I can find the site again, I'll pass
along the url.

RE: Maybe You'll See Something I Don't

2003-09-24 Thread Barney Boisvert
the delimiter argument to the list functions is not a multicharacter string,
it's a set of delimiter characters.  So listGetAt(myList, 3, ">>") isn't
looking for the third item using ">>" as the delimiter, it's looking for the
third item using ">" OR ">" as the delimiter.  More clearly,
listGetAt(myList, 3, ";,") isn't looking for the third item using ";," as
the delimiter, it's looking for the third item using ";" OR "," as the
delimiter.

listGetAt("i,like;cheese", 3, ";,") will return 'cheese'

Maybe You'll See Something I Don't

2003-09-24 Thread Owens, Howard
I have this file that I'm sucking into a database.  I'm treating each line
as a list.  The delimiters (out of my contro) are ">>".

Here's a sample line:

1405 >> 09-17-2003 >> Mike Keys Re-Spray/Painted/Removed Water/Smoke/Crack
Damage. Wall Repair/Texturing Free Estimate -  Lic.#416345 r (805)659-6356 r
r (805)494-1915 r   http://web.insidevc.com/classified/logos/6596356.jpg";> >>
619620

This particular line is choaking the thing.  It wants to read the text
starting with the image tag as the fourth element in the list, which creates
a bad SQL query.  I can't see what is causing this. Do you?

Here's the list code:

Nick,

Legal issues aside, I'm not sure that this test will give you any type of
*real* performance stats.  There are too many uncontrolable network related
factors involved that have nothing to do w/ an ISP's performance.

If you want to compare the bandwith of one ISP to another, I would simply
ask them what type of pipe they have connecting them to the Internet.  And
who their carrier is.  Also how many other sites are to be hosted on the
same server is yours.  Or ping this list for satisfied customers ... the
topic of web hosting goes around about once / month.

Re: Multilingual site?

2003-09-24 Thread Claude Schneegans
>>no translation occurs. the latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) char set is a part, i guess
the very first part, of unicode.

Of Unicode, yes, but remember: there is NO Unicode on Internet, only UTF-8 and UTF-8 is
a method to encode 16 bits character using several 8 bits characters, (up to 6 
actually).
Only US-ASCII chars from 0 to 127 are represented as one byte, so UTF-8 is transparent
for ASCII only. All chars from 128 to 255 used in French or other European languages 
will take
2 bytes, which is unnecessary if you need only languages supported by 256 character 
sets.

>>why would you want that?

I mean produce a page in standard latin-1 character set, not UTF-8

>>for starters latin-1 has no euro symbol.


Personally I can leave without that, and I think it is still possible to get Unicode 
characters
separately using appropriate code.

>>it also nails your application's feet to western europe

Of course, but I was thinking of application that only use these languages.

>>in any case, use setEncoding/cfcontent in application.cfm and
cfprocessingdirective on each page to handle your page encoding.

Ah ah! This is it. Pardon me, but I'm still just running some tests on CFMX and I've 
not been
through the whole documentation yet.

I don't know how the situation is now, but about 2 years ago I made some research 
about UTF-8
in order to enhance an application to support Chinese + Arabic + Russian.
At that time I encountered several problems with some browsers, in particular NT4 to 
support
Unicode fonts: the user was requested to download hudge font files (about 32 megs), 
and the display was
simply horrible.
NT4 is not a significative player any more, and Unicode fonts are more or less 
standard I suppose.

All of the lists on House of Fusion will be moving to HTML formatted mail. This
will mean that you will get your posts in the exact same way you do now, with
all HTML, Spam, scripts and viruses removed but with an HTML banner in the
footer of the post. This footer will help raise funds to provide additional
resources on House of Fusion including the well received Best of Talk and paid
technical articles.
For those who do not wish to view the HTML banner, a text only option for mail
has been provided. All you have to do is go to the subscription page (noted in
the footer of this post) and uncheck the HTML button.
In addition to the paid banner ads, at least 10% of all ads will be for
non-profit community resources. If you run such a resource, please contact me

You do this on my domain(s) and on the sixth ping you would be locked

your
ISP periodically thereafter, and then followed by a complaint filed with

You see, there are much better ways of evaluating a service provider

Re: Auto Pinging Script?

Again, you are mis-interpreting what we do.
We do not block clients.  neither email or access to their web sites, nor do we
prevent their monitoring it to track up-time.  None of our blocking is ever
directed at clients.  That would really be stupid.

I read the original post to mean that the person wanted to monitor ALL CF hosts
by pinging them whether he was a customer or not and certainly without
permission.  This is what I objected to,
We readily assist customers in monitoring their web sites, and other than spam
filtering (on request) and anti-virus scanning, their email is never delayed at
all.

I am pleased that my clients are really pleased with their service, and have
made the effort to comment about it on the Forta web site.

It looks like the number was HB1282.

The text does not mention ping at all.

It is all about unsolicited commercial (advertising) email.

CFPOP can do that, but you need to be able to log in to the acct.  Also, just trawling

this capability and I suspect its off on most others.

Re: Verifying an email address exists

2003-09-24 Thread Howie Hamlin
There used to be (VRFY SMTP command) but SPAMMERS have forced mail server admins and 
software developers to prevent verification (to prevent email harvesting).  The best 
you can do is an MX lookup on the domain of the email address (we have a freeware tag 
on our site that does this) to see if the domain has one or more mail servers 
designated.  Other than that all you can do is connect to the smtp server and issue 
the following commands:

helo 
mail from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
rcpt to: 

This will let you know if the email server will accept mail to the email address but 
not whether the email address is valid (many email servers accept mail to bad accounts 
and then bounce the mail later).

HTH,

> Your scenario would make it a crime for me to monitor the content of a web
page, determine whether it has changed and send a notice if a change has
occurred.  Again, a reasonable and ethical activity widely performed.

This is important for me to be clear on as well. I have a desktop app that
I'm in the process of converting to a CFC web service in my spare time that
hits a web site looking for a specific bit of information. The web site it's
looking at is not one of mine, it's just out on the web.

Is what I'm doing any different than a person looking at the web page
directly? Does it make a difference how many clients I distribute that call
this web service? Also, does a law like this make search engine spiders
illegal?

Extreme?  I guess it is, but look at the extreme law just signed into law in
California.  It is now unlawful to send unsolicited commercial email to anyone
in California , regardless of whether how it is classified, has " ADV" in the
subject, or even if the sender has an established relationship with the
recipient.   Now that is extreme, and I am sure is the result of so many abuses.

2003-09-24 Thread jon hall
What I want to know is if they capture the packet's...do they sending
them to the electric chair? :)

I can see how Doug's strategy could be extremely effective...
Personally I'd set it a few notches higher, but there are definitely times
when we have been under DOS attack that I wished we had something like
that set up. It could make a mess of the deny list though if under a
big DDOS attack though, and the router is going to get overloaded
either way as the deny list gets larger and larger, but I'm sure these
problems could be overcome.

I wonder if the wording of the law makes stuff like ARP packets from
an ISP into a clients network illegal...knowing how technical
legislators are I wouldn't doubt it.

I don't think so as that definition ignores the concept of intent, but neither of our 
opinions mean anything.  I have a call in to Mary Vincent, the Coordinator for 
Consumer Protection at the Texas AG's office.  I've been slowly walking up the ladder

Re: Auto Pinging Script?

2003-09-24 Thread Doug White
I think you are getting off track, or I misunderstood the purpose of your
original post.  Of course a customer/client can set up whatever software they
wish to monitor server uptime, in face we will furnish code for that to the
client at no extra charge.  It is very easy to set up with a CFC and CFSchedule.

I had previously qualified my statement as defining the pings coming from
someone with whom we had no relationship.  In fact I run server monitoring
software on my network myself.  If I am hosting your web site, then you would be
entitled to know about your up time, even if you did not want to wait for the
daily statistical report sent to you every day anyway.  The example you give
would not apply to the scenario I painted, because they are obviously
customers/clients.  You would likewise be entitled to pop your mail, send mail,
or whatever service you were being provided.

|

| scenario
|
| "Bob, I can't ping the server. Can you try Sue?".
| "No luck here Bill, I'll try it from the server".
| "alright, i'll try it again though.
| "Nope, that's not it either, I'll try it from the router/pix/whatever".
| "Ok, now I have to call support to see what's up "
| "Yes sir, I understand you're having a problem. Oh -- you were attacking our
| server and we turned you off".
|
| Not very customer-centric. And I bet you'd have trouble defending that in
| court under that Texas law though I'm not familiar with Texas statutes,
| but I am with Virginia's -- and we're the Silicon Dominion so there's quite
| a few hi-tech laws. But redalert.com (now part of Keynote now) isn't
| violating any laws as far as "attacking" sites.
|
| No question Welchia violated laws, but there's a big difference between
| Welchia pinging you and a *customer* monitoring the site they pay you for.
| I'm the first person to say monitor the service you really need to
| monitor -- eg HTTP if it's web, SMTP if it's outbound mail, etc. Personally
| I'm a big fan of nagios and most every service provider I've ever dealt with
| had at least MRTG running internally to provide a window into uptime. That
| said, I still start with a ping when someone tells me we have a problem.

|
| Who judges what's "unnecessary"? All that graphic crap, flash, etc all get

| out too? And the stupid stuff -- let's get rid of that. No more Survivor fan
| sites. And none of these useless newsgroups :)
|
| Welchia was nasty, but a block on the appropriate RPC ports at the perimeter

RE: SQL regex select

2003-09-24 Thread Ryan Emerle
You can do it (in MSSQL) but it won't be RegEx per se.  You can have the wildcard 
"rules" in the db, and do something like this:

SELECT *
FROM   Email_Rules
WHERE ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]' LIKE Rule_To_Check)

In this case, Rule_To_Check would be a field that contains entries like:

Rule_To_Check
-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


But, you are limited to the wildcard characters that LIKE requires:

I also don't know how fast this would be..  Though it does work; just tested it.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do.  This has to do with an idea for email processing 
via iMS/FusionMail where certain records are required for different users or entire 
domains.  For example, I may want to have a template called for every mail going to 
coolfusion.com.  In my table I would have a rule labeled as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then 
any email to that domain would use that rule.

How to convert an object to a string (XML)

2003-09-24 Thread cf talk
Hi all,

I have been working with some XML files that are being sent to us.  We were using a 
third party application to process them, but when we switched over to MX, it no longer 
works.  I found out how to use the xmlparse function to work with my xml file.  But 
after I do some processing to the data in the structure, I want to write it out to a 
file.  When I do this, I am not getting the xml back.  How do I convert the XML back 
to a string before I write it to the drive?

Re: Auto Pinging Script?

2003-09-24 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
It's not CF, so there's a bit of learning curve, but nagios is a great open
source monitoring tool. http://www.nagios.org/. There's commercial support
to help get it running, but it's rock solid, free, and runs great from a DSL
connection.

We've got a few customers that asked us to put in Nagios (well, they said
monitoring and we chose nagios) and we asked *them* if we can use their
Nagios install to monitor other sites, so we now have a number of different
Nagios monitors on different service providers that monitor each other and
report back to our central console as well -- so we can get confirmation of
any outage from multiple sources. All free. All scalable. And not that hard
to figure out.

There's other tools too -- cricket, umm, netsaint, few others. Nagios seems
to be the current leader.

That said, I've used SitePeeker for a couple of quick and dirty projects
before I learned Nagios and it worked just fine. But Nagios will let you
monitor any port, let you run transactions, let's you escalate notification
of folks, etc. Great tool. The open source equivalent in many ways to
WhatsUp! (which I love, but is about $750/site vs $0 for Nagios)

Wow. So do you filter folks using Outlook that do an SMTP get every minute
or so with the default settings in Office 2k/xp? Are they *attacking* you as
well? Frequent web hits from the same client? Not clear from your site how
you bill, but industry standard is either 95% peak usage or total GB per
month. If I'm paying for traffic, you shouldn't care what it is, as long as
it's legal.

It comes down to what's an attack. I'd have trouble understanding six pings
being an attack -- many small businesses (same folks who use shared servers
and lots of your customers, right?) use 1 IP address and NAT it. Try this
scenario

"Bob, I can't ping the server. Can you try Sue?".
"No luck here Bill, I'll try it from the server".
"alright, i'll try it again though.
"Nope, that's not it either, I'll try it from the router/pix/whatever".
"Ok, now I have to call support to see what's up "
"Yes sir, I understand you're having a problem. Oh -- you were attacking our
server and we turned you off".

Not very customer-centric. And I bet you'd have trouble defending that in
court under that Texas law though I'm not familiar with Texas statutes,
but I am with Virginia's -- and we're the Silicon Dominion so there's quite
a few hi-tech laws. But redalert.com (now part of Keynote now) isn't
violating any laws as far as "attacking" sites.

No question Welchia violated laws, but there's a big difference between
Welchia pinging you and a *customer* monitoring the site they pay you for.
I'm the first person to say monitor the service you really need to
monitor -- eg HTTP if it's web, SMTP if it's outbound mail, etc. Personally
I'm a big fan of nagios and most every service provider I've ever dealt with
had at least MRTG running internally to provide a window into uptime. That
said, I still start with a ping when someone tells me we have a problem.

> Like it or not, unnecessary internet traffic is just that, unnecessary.
So get
> a real job.

Who judges what's "unnecessary"? All that graphic crap, flash, etc all get
in the way of the text content. It's sort of unnecessary so just filter it
out too? And the stupid stuff -- let's get rid of that. No more Survivor fan
sites. And none of these useless newsgroups :)

Welchia was nasty, but a block on the appropriate RPC ports at the perimeter
routers and a little proactive monitoring of the syslog for scanning pings
is plenty to protect you. It's not *that* hard to write a perl script that's
a little more forgiving. We share space with Crutchfield and a couple other
large regional companies and had no issues other than general slowness from
the *rest* of world, particularly Adelphia which handled everything pretty
darn poorly.

CFMX 6.1 smalldatetime problem

2003-09-24 Thread Darron J. Schall
Using SQL Server 2k and CFMX 6.1 on a Win2k box.

Has anyone had any problems returning smalldatetime columns from a database?
I keep getting this error:

Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC
Socket][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Numeric value out of range.

And I've narrowed it down to a "datecreated" column that is a smalldatetime.
The column returns correct information in Query Analyzer, so I expect that
it's something on the CF side of things.

If I change the column to "datetime" it works...  this screams bug to me,
but I'm wondering if I'm the only one encountering this...  The is only
happening on one of our 5 boxes, so it's probably just a fluke and
restarting either CF or SQL might do the trick...

Thoughts?

I use a routine that was developed to counter the Welchia ping attacks.
Packets are captured with SNORT, and then added to a database via a perl script,
and then another perl script to block you at the router.

As for someone saying the attacking a network not under your control is ethical
and Legal, I will remind that person that this system is in Texas, and we have
statutes making the practice illegal, and subject to substantial fines.  Put
that together with an Attorney General who is enthusiastic about prosecuting
computer crimes.

Like it or not, unnecessary internet traffic is just that, unnecessary.  So get

Re: Auto Pinging Script?

2003-09-24 Thread jon hall
For 15 pings? Sheesh man...just filter icmp and be done with it if
that's the way you feel. How are you counting and triggering the
events? I could see doing this with IDS, but would think doing
something like that on the router would cause performance issues if
the counter window was long enough. Hell, it would probably make the
router easier to DOS...lol

To answer the original question...I recommend something along the
lines of IPSwitch's WhatsUp, or one of the web based services out
there.

All he wants is a server monitor.  Common as dirt; ethical and legal.

Check out CF_SitePeeker in the DevEx to use as a free server monitor.  

http://mysecretbase.com/page_48.html

And cf_UpTimeMonger as a separate tool will measure actual downtime
within a minute.  

I used the latter tool in a BBB complaint against Interland (!) years
ago, and during the settlement conference they whined about the use of a
1-minute interval being a burden, all I had to do was ask "Are you
saying your server can't handle one hit per minute?".  End of foolish
argument (here's the actual server report):

http://foohbar.org/DownTimeReport.htm

SitePeeker also has a report function that can maintain itself.  I set
mine to purge entries older than one day, and its been running for about
2 years without maintenance.

I'm a little confused. In order to use the QUERY attribute of the CFMAIL 
tag, you have to pass it a valid CFQUERY name that *that has already run.* 
So if you fix your AND-ing problem to OR, then you will be passing a query 
that should only have an e-mail address in it -- no NULLs and no blank 
strings.

Can you post the full code snippet -- query and cfmail usage -- so that I/we 
can get a better idea of how your template is working (or not working)?

Regards,
Dave.

I have standalone.

I don't have that. In jrun-web.xml, all I have is

  
/WEB-INF

RE: Enabling RDS on 6.1

2003-09-24 Thread Owens, Howard
I don't have 

wasweb.xml

or 

j2ee-web.xml

And I'm guessing what you give here isn't the full document.

I'm not running j2ee, though, just standalone CF 6.1.

Re: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries

2003-09-24 Thread Dustin Snell [Unisyn Software]
Thank you for your understanding. Empathy always helps a bit :-)

As for your suggestion, as long as my code is using the QUERY param of the
CFMAIL (instead of doing it one at a time) this will not work. Now in my
query I am having to add all sorts of checks to make sure the address is
valid. I have wasted my whole morning playing games with this tag. One of
these hours now my query will check every possible problem and deliver a
perfect set of approx 6000 email addresses to CFMAIL.

Why should I have to do this when the mail server would do it for me? Nobody
really knows.

Thanks for your help.

Dustin
