Re: Reply-To Header observance
- Original Message - From: Jochem van Dieten Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2004 02:11:20 +0200 That is no protection against relaying, there is a reason why all the standard relay tests use addresses from a local domain. Everybody can fake an email address (isn't that what you are doing yourself?). No, we're using a real address.The mail server is set to require a real account (which is why the from address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] - that's a real account). Of course, that doesn't prevent spammers from trying to use our domain with that e-mail address (which is probably a pretty common account name). Fix your mailserver, it is easier. For now, the mail server isn't under out control.I've only recently joined the company, but aparently the relay setting is a fairly recent one.In the next two months, we're changing hosts and to a dedicated hosting solution (where we'll have more control).From what I understand, our current settings are much like any other prevent relay settings that I'm aware of, where the from addresses have to be actual accounts. Based on what you've said, my guess is that MS Exchange is the culprit.For now, we can put a message in each e-mail saying something like, If replying, please make sure the To: address is [EMAIL PROTECTED].When we have more control over the mail servers, we can look into requiring authentication (we're on CF 5 and are transitioning to MX 6.1 with the new host, so authentication is an option).

Development CFMail
Hey everyone, I have a quick question that I thought of with all of the talk about how the CFMAil server works.I am trying to come up with a good way to set up an SMTP server on my development server where I can use CFMAIL to send email so the app won't choke but some how force it to go to a certain mailbox that is already existent on that mail server (while keeping the original email address as the to account). Basically, I want to make a Catch-All email account that will receive any mail sent from that CF server so I can test mass email systems and other CFMAIL functionality without actually sending to the real people, but I do want to see that the SMTP server is handling things correctly.

Re: Losing Form Scope
Dave, Thanks for suggesting ieHTTPHeaders! It showed me exactly what was happening and I was able to fix it. Thanks, Stan I have had that happen to me once. Don't know your exact situation, but if you are posting to HTTPS with a buggy version of IE, it doesn't send the post data to the web server. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=831167 I'd recommend installing either ieHTTPHeaders (http://www.blunck. info/iehttpheaders.html) for IE or LiveHTTPHeaders (http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/) for Firefox/Mozilla. Both are plugins to their respective browsers so you can see the HTTP transactions that are going on. Might give you some insight, helped me in finding out about the IE bug above. I have a form that is submitting to an action page, but for some reason when the action page loads the form scope is gone, so when I look at the debugging information under Scope Variables the entire Form Fields: section is not even listed. This happens on the live CF5 server and my local CFMX development server. form action="" method=post input type=hidden name=CorpOK value=true input type=hidden . input type=submit value=YES - Extend the Ad Account class=button /form Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Be aware of Ad blocking on Kerio Personal Firewall
I found an interesting off topic issue that drove me nuts that I thought might interest many of you. I have a client who uses Kerio personal firewall with ad blocking enabled. What was happening was any page, directory, or file name where any for the following regex conditions was true a page or images would not load. Http path on server: .*adframe.* .*/ad-handler/.* .*[bB]anner.?/.* .*/please/showit/.* .*/popup.?/.* .*/reklama/.* .*/ad[isx0-9]?[/?]/.* /r/.* /content.* Drive letter path on server: .*\.doubleclick.\.* .*\.gator.\.*com .*\.adserv.\.* 1.*\.im.\.cz ad([isx0-9].*)?\..*\..* ar.*\.atwola.\.com I have found the above has affected serveral clients who use legitimate ads on their sites that are getting blocked, so we have to do some reworking to get around Kerio.

This is off the topic of the reply-to headers, but it seems to me that it does provide SOME protection from relaying (which may not be the right term, but it fits the error message IIS sends back to CF).Our system is similar to the way CrystalTech has their shared hosting. Any outgoing e-mail has to come from an actual e-mail account on the server.While this doesn't prevent spammers from guessing a correct' address to send e-mail from, it does prevent them from using something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] to send mail through your server.It's not full SMTP authentication, of course, but it does provide some protection. (The error message from CrystalTech's system [our system isn't on CT, but my freelance stuff is] when the from address isn't an actual account on the server is something like, Mail Server does not relay, which is why I'm using the term relay) Which is all I was saying before.It does provide some protection, and since we haven't transitioned to MX yet, it's about all the protection we can have right now. Of course, that doesn't mean our server admin knows what he's doing, either (based on his CF code and the fact that they have a production environment running in single-threaded mode, I do have my doubts). This is one of the reasons we're taking control of the servers.

Re: Database Management Tool
Sorry, let me be a bit more helpful. You should get a new host because it seems like they are keeping you out of the database for security issues. Any CF tool you can get to manage an oracle database will need to run on an account that has mad permissions. They are more likely to give you access via TOAD than to grant you DBA privs so a web based tool will work. -Adam On Mon, 27 Sep 2004 18:54:11 -0400, Adrocknaphobia [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Get a new host. - Original Message - From: daniel kessler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 08:48:58 -0400 Subject: Re: Database Management Tool To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I don't know alot about DBs, really.It asked for my Service, which is a common question here.It appears to not be my DB name, which is eatsmart.I tried that as a domain with eatsmart.umd.edu since umd is my webhosting group.It says no service found.

RE: Including a template over the network fails
Dave, I think that was the problem. I had a mapping set up, but the script was not using it - thank you!!! Life goes on Brook At 07:35 AM 9/26/2004, you wrote: I just set up our site in a cluster and am using a NAS unit for storing some files. At one point I write a file (a cfm file) to the NAS unit and then try to include it to execute the code that was written in it. I get an error saying the file does not exist, even though it does. I tested this code below and if I can use CFFILE to read the file no problem, I can write the file, but I can not CFINCLUDE It. What would cause that?? Did you create a mapping to point to that directory? CFINCLUDE doesn't use filesystem paths to reference files that aren't in a web-accessible directory.

Grouping Output Query Display
So I have a query that's outputted and grouped by a particular column. In this case it's a meeting agenda grouped by month, which is what I want and this part is working fine. The problem is that in the output there are several instances of the date column that are repeated, and I'd prefer it to only output the first instance in this case. A little ASCII art of exactly what's in the output might help...
Meeting Agenda for the month of September 2004
---
Tuesday the 14th 4:00pmOperations
Tuesday the 14th 4:00pmRegulatory and Planning
Tuesday the 14th 4:00pmFinance and Policy
Tuesday the 28th 7:30pmCouncil
Meeting Agenda for the month of October 2004
Tuesday the 14th4:00pmOperations
Tuesday the 14th4:00pmRegulatory and Planning
Tuesday the 14th4:00pmFinance and Policy
Tuesday the 28th7:30pmCouncil
etc etc
I'd like it to look like
Meeting Agenda for the month of September 2004
-
Tuesday the 14th4:00pmOperations
Regulatory and Planning
Finance and Policy
Tuesday the 28th7:30pmCouncil
Is there any way to achieve this?
Here is the relegant parts of my query and dsp page...
cfquery datasource=#request.dsn# name=meetingAgenda
SELECT
meeting_ID,month,date,time,year,comment,agenda
FROM
meeting_agenda
/cfquery
cfoutput query=meetingAgenda group=month
cfif meetingAgenda.recordcount GT 0
cfset thisrow = 1
table id=meetingAgenda
tr class=title
td colspan=3Meeting Agenda for the month of #month# #year#/td
/tr
cfoutput
tr bgcolor=#IIf(thisrow Mod 2, DE('ff'), DE('ee'))#
td#date#/td
td#time#/td
td#agenda#/td
/tr
cfset thisrow = thisrow + 1
/cfoutput
/tablebr /
/cfif
/cfoutput
TIA

RE: Grouping Output Query Display
Nest another group to the output for the meeting, like you did for the month. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
RE: Grouping Output Query Display
hi James,
I already tried that but it's possible I screwed it up...
I tried
cfoutput query=meetingAgenda group=month
cfif meetingAgenda.recordcount GT 0
cfset thisrow = 1
table id=meetingAgenda
tr class=title
td colspan=3Meeting Agenda #month# #year#/td
/tr
cfoutput group=date
tr bgcolor=#IIf(thisrow Mod 2, DE('ff'), DE('ee'))#
td#date#/td
td#time#/td
td#agenda#/td
/tr
/cfoutput
/tablebr /
cfset thisrow = thisrow + 1
/cfif
/cfoutput
which outputs
Meeting Agenda August 2004
Tuesday the 10th 4:00pm Operations
Tuesday the 24th 7:30pm Council
and cuts off all the other Tuesday the 10th entries
adieu

RE: Grouping Output Query Display
Almost; write one row for the Meeting Date / timeand then use your final
cfoutput with no group to write each agendum in subsequent rows (the thisrow
increment won't be in the right place now but you'll figure it out - you
might instead use meetingAgenda.CurrentRow but it depends on exact;y what
bits need to alternate in colour).
cfoutput query=meetingAgenda group=month cfif
meetingAgenda.recordcount GT 0
cfset thisrow = 1
table id=meetingAgenda
tr class=title
td colspan=3Meeting Agenda #month# #year#/td
/tr
cfoutput group=date
tr
td#date#/td
td#time#/td
tdnbsp;/td
/tr
cfoutput
tr bgcolor=#IIf(thisrow Mod 2, DE('ff'), DE('ee'))#
tdnbsp;/td
tdnbsp;/td
td#agenda#/td
/tr
/cfoutput
/cfoutput
/tablebr /
cfset thisrow = thisrow + 1
/cfif
/cfoutput

RE: Grouping Output Query Display
Perfect I'd actually simplified it down and had it working (outside of using tables for layout) like so.. cfoutput query=meetingAgenda group=month h2#month#/h2 cfoutput group=date h3#date#/h3 cfoutput #time# - #agenda#br / /cfoutput br /br / /cfoutput /cfoutput but you've kept it in tables for me with the correct display. The alternating colours are no big deal, and I've sorted that one out already. And lastly, thank you. adieu MarkH [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

RE: Be aware of Ad blocking on Kerio Personal Firewall
This is pretty common - Norton does something similar.They add a wrinkle that any image (ANY image) that is the same dimensions as common ads are suppressed.It doesn't have to be an ad. Also note that ad blockers try to block ads - there's really no such thing as legitimate ads to those tools.It quacks like a duck, swims like a duck and flies like a duck. well then it's a duck and it'll get through. But if it's an ad they'll (at least try and) stop it.;^) Jim Davis From: Stan Winchester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 4:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Be aware of Ad blocking on Kerio Personal Firewall I found an interesting off topic issue that drove me nuts that I thought might interest many of you. I have a client who uses Kerio personal firewall with ad blocking enabled. What was happening was any page, directory, or file name where any for the following regex conditions was true a page or images would not load.
