RE: CFMAIL Problem

2000-05-19 Thread DSJ

Rey,

CFMAIL is choking on me the same way.  I know for a fact that it's not my
mail server's fault because it is very intermitent.  There is definitely a
problem with CFMAIL.  On a side note, I NEVER use to have these problems
with CF 4.01.  I may end up downgrading just to fix the problem since
Allaire screwed up 4.5.1.  I have had nothing but problems with 4.5.1, but
this CFMAIL issue is the most important to me.  None of my customers are
getting order confirmations like they are suppose to or anything.  It's been
hell trying to figure it out.

Just thought I'd voice my opinion about this since I'm having similar
problems.

Thanks,

DSJ

CFMAIL running only once an hour

2000-06-21 Thread DSJ

Since installing CF 4.5, my CFMAIL only processes & sends mail just once an
hour and I cannot find where to configure it to process it immediately.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Message Board

Hey Jeremy,

Take a look at the message board up on my site at http://www.thebrewhut.com.
If that's fine, I'll send the code to you for free.  That's just the good
'ol simple forum sample app that they use to ship with CF 3.x, which they no
longer do.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Dennis

RE: .htaccess for IIS?

2000-10-27 Thread DSJ

Michel,

There's really no way for Cold Fusion to protect directories.  You can get
it to protect individual .cfm files based on the referrer tag, like this...


http://www.yourdomain.com">


...but that's about the extent of Cold Fusion's capability in protecting
files.

Actually, it sounds like you need Authentix, which is a third party filter
which you install into IIS.  I use it and have found it more than useful.
You can protect anything from directories to files with it via a user
database or simply by referrer.  I bought the software about a year ago for
$299 (ISP version).  You may not need the ISP version, so, yours may be
cheaper.  I think they even have a free version depending on your needs.  At
any rate, here's the url for AuthentiX:  http://www.flicks.com.

Hope this helps!

RE: E-commerce

2001-10-04 Thread DSJ / PC1, Inc.

Mike,

I was in the same position a few years back, and instead of trying to
re-invent the wheel, I just went with a commercial CF based solution.  In my
own scenario, I simply did not have the time or patience to program a
shopping cart in CF, when I knew a "plug & play" solution already existed.

I understand you are in "practice mode" here, but when it's time for the
"rubber to meet the road", I would highly recommend just using something
commercial.

Just my .02... for what it's worth.

Hi everyone.
I am trying to elarn how to create a simple E-commerce site (for
practice purposes).
I have no experience with this yet and could use some pointers.

What is the est way to store information when the user wants to add
something to their basket?
I was thinking about using a structure of arrays, or a structure of
lists... or just arrays.. im not really sure what is easiest to work
with for a novice?

Does anyone know some online examples with code that I could study from?
Should the cart be stored as a session var?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Querying a db with all caps

2001-02-19 Thread DSJ / PC1, Inc.

Hello All,

I am querying a database that uses only capital letters in all of the values
inside each field.  When I perform a search using smaller case letters,
nothing shows up, however, when I type in ALL CAPS in my search, it works as
expected.

Now, my question is, is there a way that I can make my query work even if
someone uses all smaller case letters in the search field?

Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

Thanks,

DSJ

Throttling CFMAIL

processes?

For instance, let's say I've got a database of 1000 e-mail addresses (opt-in
of course), and I want to wait 30 seconds between each one that get's sent
out.  Any way I can do this?

Did you mean cfx_sleep?  If so, I don't know if that will work since I am
only using 1 cfmail inference in my code, upon which all 1,000 e-mail
addresses get passed to it at once.

Oh, just saw Cameron's reply come in, which I will answer.

RE: Throttling CFMAIL

2001-08-30 Thread DSJ / PC1, Inc.

Ok Cameron.  Here's the deal.

I run the web site for ColoradoRunner.com.  On that web site, you will
notice that we collect e-mail addresses from those that opt to give it to
us, in the form of an e-mail collection box on the home page, as well as the
contest for the free shoe give away each and every week.

Anyways, we currently have about 7,000 opt-in e-mail addresses in our
database, which we send out bi-weekly (or so) e-mails to, through a custom
CF app I've written.  Well, each time we send out a mailing, ALL 1,500
aol.com e-mails get returned to us.  I believe it's because the aol.com mail
servers think that we are spamming them (which we are not).  So, my thinking
is that if we stagger the outgoing mail, the aol.com mail servers may let
the mail through.  Everyone else using other ISP's gets the mailing fine.

Make sense?  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dennis

I am pretty sure our domain hasn't been added to any list of spamming
domains filter over at aol.  Here's why:  We have a "test list" setup in our
mail sending admin app, with a couple of aol.com e-mail addresses which we
have access to.  Whenever we send out the initial "test" mailing to make
sure everything looks ok, we do receive those e-mails in our aol.com inbox.
I am also able to send e-mail from my personal Outlook inbox to my aol.com
account using the same mail server no problem.  So, this is the reason that
I believe aol.com has a filter up that says, "Don't accept over X number of
e-mails in a certain time period from a given smtp server."

I am using CF 4.51 Enterprise.  Any idea how to take out this header?

I did not know about this reg setting, but will certainly give it a try on
our next mailing.

Yes, here's an example of one:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is the return message that I am getting from my SMTP server (the SMTP
server included in IIS5 for Win 2000).

Thanks for all your insight and help!

What exactly does this tag do?

RE: Throttling CFMAIL

Thanks Tom.  This does make sense, since my current mail server doesn't have
a RDNS setup at the current time.  It will shortly though... guaranteed.

I'll keep the list posted as to whether this works or not.

Thanks!
