Now a CFFTP problem...
I'm not having a great day today! (sigh) Now I cant see why the
following code would work ok on my dev server, but when I upload it to the
production server it doesn't work. What happens is it executes the CFFTP
Open command ok, but when it executes the next command I get the error
message:
{quote]
An exception occurred when performing the FTP CHANGEDIR operation.
[/quote]
Here's the code: It's copied directly from my dev server to the production
server and I cant see why it would work in one but not the other. (I've
checked, and CFFTP isn't disabled on the production server. The only
difference I can see is that my dev server is CFMX6.1 standard, and the
production is MX6.1 Enterprise Edition.) If I take out the CHANGEDIR code,
and go straight to the PUTFILE code, the same error occurs at the same
point, so it's not a syntax error in the CHANGEDIR tag. Any ideas?

Re: Mailing to email list using CF
>>So doing a DNS check will not help much in verifying an account
I just checked my list via dns using worldcast and about 10% failed, but many with messages about not having an IP they can reverse look-up, so useless.
To send a newsletter in a slower way with CF, use an email trickler (a page that reloads and cycles through a query). Matt Robertson has posted it before here and one on easy-cfm or whatever its called. Google for coldfusion and email trickler.
Kym, very helpful. Hard to know what emails are getting rejected for exactly what, or just tossed, so what do estimate the hourly threshhold is for big guys like AOL, Hotmail, etc? I have a list of 3000 subscribers and have been trickling it out at only 300/hour out of paranoia.
Also, do you think the presence of a localhost IP ("from 127.0.0.1 for [ISP IP]" etc.) and the coldfusion name as the sending program in the header is a big spam filter problem?
One thing that annoys me is I send via my local IPS account with a reply-to for our domain, and a certain percentage of hosts rejects that as "no relaying". That's not relaying. Or maybe it's the localhost IP in there, not sure.

Hi Stylo,

Yes, one thing that gets checked by most servers now is to make sure the mail coming in is from another mail server, which should have a reverse lookup of its IP address. If there is a reverse lookup response then it is often checked against lists of dial-up lines, etc., to again confirm that it another mail server, not a consumer machine. The re4verse name of the mail server should not have to match the email's sending domain name but it should match the name the mail server itself identified itself as. That should stop email coming in from home machines and other suspect sources.
>Kym, very helpful. Hard to know what emails are getting rejected for exactly what, or just tossed, so what do estimate the hourly threshhold is for big guys like AOL, Hotmail, etc? I have a list of 3000 subscribers and have been trickling it out at only 300/hour out of paranoia.
Send it full-blast to everyone except the big three and pick up on who bounces what and then modify the feed rate to match. That means you need two streams to send but that should not be too hard. For the big three the rules are dirfferent and constanlty change as they try to keep ahead of thr SPAMmers but they do publish their restrictions (go to places like: http://postmaster.info.aol.com/ to find out)
>Also, do you think the presence of a localhost IP ("from 127.0.0.1 for [ISP IP]" etc.) and the coldfusion name as the sending program in the header is a big spam filter problem?
At one time the word Allaire would cause an email to be stopped by some email servers as they were fussy about engines that could send bulk quantities of email but were not email servers themselves but that should no longer be the case. As to things like private IP addresses in the headers it should be OK in the first line or two as the mail gets out of a system into the larger world but records with private IP addresses after that it could be treated as suspicious.
>One thing that annoys me is I send via my local IPS account with a reply-to for our domain, and a certain percentage of hosts rejects that as "no relaying". That's not relaying. Or maybe it's the localhost IP in there, not sure.
What some servers look for is a match between the source domains in the headers and they should not do so as having a "ReplyTo:" that goes to a different place than the sender is not an improper thing. It is often the result of poor configuration but getting it fixed is not easy :-)

Re: Now a CFFTP problem...
Mike,
Not sure if you have tried this or not, but if your code seems to
work on your development server and not your production server, I
would first check the permission of the username you are trying to
connect with on your production ftp server. Make sure the username
and password you are using have valid accounts on both the development
and production ftp servers.

RE: Now a CFFTP problem...
Thanks Dave, I thought about that too. Since it's the production server that is trying unsuccessfully to ftp to a third server, its ColdFusion itself that has to have ftp permissions to ftp OUT of the production server. How do I make sure that ColdFusion has permissions to ftp outwards? (I can't ftp into my own system because I haven't got a working inbound FTP through my own firewall).

Re: Now a CFFTP problem...
Mike, To answer your question, the only way I can think of checking to see if you CF Server can connect to a third party server, is to physically get on the ftp server and check the user permissions. If I were you though, I would do the following: 1) Separate your code into three different sections. It appearrs as if you want to perform 3 different actions to the ftp server; so I would separate them as follows. (1)open a connection to the server, (2) change to diff dir than home dir & (3) upload a file. 2) First test to see if you can connect to the FTP server by just "opening a connection". If an error does not occur here, then you know that you are at least able to connect to the ftp server. 3) If you are able to successfully connect to the ftp server without error, I would then simply test the other functions. By doing this, you can figure out exactly what permissions your cfserver user/perm. have. (ie (1)see if you can connect and then upload a file to your home directory; (2)see if you can connect, upload file to home directory and then try to change directory) Hope this helps. -Dave - Original Message - From: Michael Kear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2004 23:10:52 +1000 Subject: RE: Now a CFFTP problem...

Control over HTTP_REFERER?
I've waited to the last minute on something that I thought was going to be simple. I'm working with a local genealogy society to allow their members to access a research facility that the society subscribes to. The rules of the game are that the society has to authenticate the users and limit the access to just their members - they cannot open it up to the world. The research facility uses the http_referer variable to determine if the request is coming from the society's website. Well, as far as I can tell, any means I use of sending the logged-in and properly authenticated user to the research facility's site (HREF, CFLOCATION, response.redirect) is going to have an http_referer value of the user, not the website. Since the users can come from anywhere (home, work, library, Aunt Matilda's, etc etc), there's no way I can see to send a list of all possible user IPs to the research facility. Any ideas on how to get out of this pickle? I don't think that CFHTTP is an answer, since there is going to be a lot of cookie, _javascript_ and image traffic between the user and the research site. I'm supposed to have this up and running on 1-July! Thanks -reed [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: cfinclude error...
Ahhh yes... never had to use that... now I do. That worked. Thank you. Along another path issue... The application also allows upload and display of user selected files... displaying them with a simple http://www.SomeSiteName.com/SomeAppName/SomeUserDataDirectory/SomeUserFileName.txt If that directory is not a piece of the web server root... it cannot be displayed because the web server can't see that directory. I want to keep the web server out of the Application Directory, (so now only coldfusion has the mapping as you indicated above). I suspect there is some way to do this... give IIS access to only one directory off somewhere outside of the webroot area ...would that be an IIS or apache config issue???

Re: Mailing to email list using CF
Unfortunately, good/best programming practices don't really have anything to do with this. If they did, as you say, a regex would solve the problem. For starters, what happens when users have the ability to change addresses, or import new ones in large blocks, via means out of your programmatic control? If you can't control the inputs... Besides, users -- especially non-technical middle and senior managers -- won't often allow themselves to be brought under control. Try, for example, to tell a senior executive vice-poobah who has had a membership list for X years -- and has been blissfully ignorant of all the bounces since they failed silently prior to CF 6 -- that they have to qualify it all over again with an opt-in. They'll be laughing all the way to the balcony, and more so as you sail off of it. The bottom line, imho, is that a robust, properly written cfmail application ignores whether the inputs have been tested or not. It tests for failures prior to the xmit, and gracefully catches those failures so the job can continue. I learned this one the hard way, personally. Further, if your circumstances require it, you may have to spell out in big letters exactly what is wrong with the address so the drooling slackjaws who let the list get into this shape in the first place can go fix it. Sadly, thats a business requirement that has bupkis to do with efficient programming. -- --Matt Robertson-- MSB Designs, Inc. mysecretbase.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Control over HTTP_REFERER?
Thanks for the idea, but I only have control of my site, not of the site that provides the research services, so there's no way for them to come back to me for authentication. They rely on the site that the users go to (my site in this case) for the authentication.

Unicode, Access, and 6.1
We have recently upgraded from CFMX 6.0 to CFMX 6.1. My developer copy of 6.1 that I run locally has two MS Access datasource options - one with Unicode support and one without. But the new server upgrade only has the old without Unicode option. Am I missing a preference in the CF Admin for how to enable the Unicode support option? Thanks!

Text Databases
I've never had to set up an ODBC connection to a text file, but I am now. I have a file that is delimited with the pipe character (|). I have successfully set up the datasource, but CF can't seem to tell what the delimiter is. How do I do this? I can't seem to find information anywhere.

RE: Text Databases
It's in the ODBC driver setup. In windows DS administrator, click "Configure", use the "options > define format" button then choose custom delimited. _ From: Steve Reich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 28 June 2004 1:22 p.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Text Databases I've never had to set up an ODBC connection to a text file, but I am now.

Re: Mailing to email list using CF
>>that they have to qualify it all over again with an opt-in. They'll be laughing all the way to the balcony, and more so as you sail off of it. I think you've misread something when replying to me. I didn't say - nor did anyone I can see - to re-qualify a list with an opt-in. Personally I'd check format once, then use it, then delete emails after 3 bounces. If a website based list, though, I'd certainly start using a double opt-in for any new emails added.
