| Migration to STX is mostly complete. Still have a little bit of work to do on the website so please ignore the ill-deserved W3C compliant logo and 404 errors. Right now I'm working on Launch Base (specifically it's integration with the recently started programme of Ares testing) and trying to get Purple Alert 8 released asap. |

| Little reminder/pointer about mail sending | |

| In light of a recent support question, I'd like to remind you all that our mail server is using the DNS blacklist from SORBS, both to protect us from being abused as a spam relay as well as to keep the volume of spam coming in as low as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes you are dynamically assigned an IP-address that was previously used by a spammer, and thus blacklisted - since your IP is blacklisted, our server will refuse connections. Said recent support call reported that receiving went fine, but sending would be blocked, for example. Therefore, if you are getting mail sending errors along the lines of "mail server not available or refused connection", please check your IP at http://www.au.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?127.0.0.1 (replacing 127.0.0.1 with your actual WAN IP) - if it is blacklisted, the problem lies with a previous user of your IP address, not with our mail server. The SORBS list is entirely independent from us and we have no influence on their blacklist - we cannot remove you from it to allow connection to the mail server. The quickest solutions there are are to either try to reconnect to obtain a different IP address, or to use webmail instead. If the problem persists, please contact us via IRC or PM, but you have to understand that, with more than 95% of all e-mails sent today being spam, we have to take defensive measures to protect the server and its users from drowning in viagra, penis enlargement and stock offers. |

| Oh well...since all hostee-news are broadcasted automatically, no STX-related news were necessary for a long time. Unfortunately, this means everytime I set up a new hostee, first thing displaying in their news is a 15 months old post about the main account being cancelled. So old, I don't even remember the issue. Seriously. I had totally wiped X1 out of my memory, and just assume I wouldn't lie to myself. ![]() Anyway, this post exists to let casual visitors know that that issue was dealt with a week or so later (by moving to a better host), and today, more than a year later, everything is fine and stable (and has been for over a year). The main page is a little holey, mainly because I suck at writing descriptions, but as our hostees show, the "business" itself is running perfectly fine. To give this newspost at least some value, I'd like to point out that in recent months, ATW, wthigon's Rules, RA2 Resurrection Project (only forums so far) and, just a few hours ago, RA2: Incursion have joined us. Just in case someone didn't notice. In addition, just few minutes ago, I finally replaced the horrible gallery skin with something nicer (downloaded, not self-made), and arranged the albums in categories, to make it more accessible. For example, you can filter out all non-STX related galleries now just by going here. Outside of direct STX news, I am still in search for someone who plans to or is interested in starting a Tiberium Wars mod review/modding information site. I am not planning to directly join, but I would like to see such a site (I miss the old mod review sites) and form a strategic alliance. If you're interested, contact me. Last but not least, many hosted news pages look a little vacant today. Don't forget to show off, guys Your homepage is the first thing people see when being linked to your project, and a small post "I'm here" isn't very exciting ![]() Also, contact me about on-site displaying of gallery pictures...I installed a new file ![]() (P.S.: Title is a reference to RA2 modding, not a statement about the condition of the network ) |
