Multiple tabs in excel
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
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? ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:4:138396 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 ColdFusion MX 6.1, now 2.5 times faster. http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/productinfo/upgrade/jump/introducing.html?trackingid=ColdFusion_468x60g_HouseofFusion_carat_082803

Re: Verifying an email address exists
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. == Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

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).

Structure of arrays
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.

RE: Verifying an email address exists
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.

RE: Auto Pinging Script? Thanks!
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.

Help with Transact SQL
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.

the delimiter argument to the list functions is not a multicharacter string, it's a set of delimiter characters.

Re: Multilingual site?
>>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. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:4:138356 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 ColdFusion MX 6.1, now 2.5 times faster. http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/productinfo/upgrade/jump/introducing.html?trackingid=ColdFusion_468x60g_HouseofFusion_carat_082803

Auto Pinging Script?
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.

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. == Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

Re: Auto Pinging Script?
Honest Doug, I'm not trying to pick on you today, but: The law (SB 186) requires "ADV" to be in the subject line. Do that and you're free/clear. Also, opt-in mailings are exempt, so an ongoing relationship is protected so long as it was established properly (expect a lot of wiggling on that one). I'd love to see them enforce this, but...

Re: Verifying an email address exists
CFPOP can do that, but you need to be able to log in to the acct. Also, just trawling a server for valid email names isn't something a smart admin will allow.

Re: Verifying an email address exists
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).

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.

Re: Auto Pinging Script?
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. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, September 24, 2003, 4:28:25 PM, you wrote: BD> So how does that affect someone that would ping your network that is not BD> in Texas?

Re: Auto Pinging Script?
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. == Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!

RE: SQL regex select
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: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_la-lz_115x.asp?frame=true I also don't know how fast this would be..

Re: Auto Pinging Script?
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) Regards, John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Matt Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 4:06 PM Subject: RE: Auto Pinging Script? > Thane Sherington wrote: > >What do you use as your "good" server to test from? > > For about the last 1 1/2 to 2 years I have used my home DSL connection, on which I am running a full licensed copy of CF.

CFMX 6.1 smalldatetime problem
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...

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.

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)?

Re: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
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.
