In the beginning...

I have just been doing a quick bit of research to figure out when I first started webspider.org...

It seems like I can trace it back to 19 May 1999... That is coming up to 12 years on! Wow...

Anti-spam measures

Anti-Spam measures taken

Due to the amount of spam we are getting from German people selling stuff and random email attachments I have tightened the spam rules on the server. This may well mean that if you have a german contact and like conversing in german about watches... well, you won't be able to now... Also chit chat about have you seen my picture or I like your profile etc will get marked as spam as well...

Sorry, but I get enough spam to sink a battleship at times and my real emails can get lost in all the spam - it is a small price to pay for allowing real emails through!

As smoothly as we can

All running smooth(ish)

Well, things seem to be running as smoothly as we can hope for again. The new server is running nicely and serving up all that we need faster than before! The VoIP has been updated and will even work for things like conferences! The DNS is up and running without problems. If only I could be up and running without problems too :-P

No doubt there will be some other excuse down the road for something else to go wrong but with effectual backups in place things should be fine for now.

Bogus email alerts

Bogus emails

There are a few bogus emails going round that are asking Webspider customers to change the POP3 or IMAP settings. You can rest assured that THEY DO NOT COME FROM ME! These are hackers trying to get our passwords because they don't have anything better to do...

Any changes to email settings will NEVER be emailed to you unless you have requested them!

Oops, wrong link!

Ok, so I got it a bit wrong and the newsflash pointed to s place that no longer existed! If you are still having problems with trying to send emails via Webspider then please have a look at the news item concerning that. Click on the link top right in newsflash or click here !

Basically we do not allow other ISPs to send webspider email any more. This is to get rid of more than half the spam that we do receive...
