E-Mail Returned Messages

錯誤代碼	可能發生原因
554 permanent problems with the remote server mx.ec2biz.com	解析不到ec2biz.com的mx記錄。
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host ec2biz.com[123.123.123.123] said: 550 5.1.1 User unknown; rejecting (in reply to RCPT TO command)	對方的服務器的退信是說明用戶名在它的郵局上不存在。
jnj1-1588-mail1.customer.global.fici.com[123.123.123.123] said: 554 5.7.1 This site does not accept .wmz attachments (in reply to end of DATA command)	退信問題是因為對方的服務器不接受.wmz的附件，可以試下把附件壓縮成RAR或ZIP的文件再發送。
Final-Recipient: rfc822; v.noel@fici.com Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; host mxmta.fici.com[123.123.123.123] said: 554 #5.3.0 Server Error (in reply to end of DATA command)	這個退信是來自123.123.123.123的，說服務器錯誤。應該讓對方的網管檢查。
host mail.ec2biz.com[123.123.123.123] said: 553 Sender address rejected: not logged in (in reply to MAIL FROM command)	有兩種情況，一種是發信時OUTLOOK的SMTP身份驗證沒有打勾，一種是發信時SMTP的IP不是我們郵局的IP。看到這種退信就要先看解析是否正確。並確認客戶端的設置沒問題。如果都ok再到服務器上確認是否跟同域驗證有關。
message size 2397844 exceeds size limit 2097152 of server ec2biz.com[123.123.123.123]	提示您發送的郵件過大
Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=ec2biz.com type=A: Host found but no data record of requested type...	這封退信是因為您在發信時我司郵局服務器無法正常解析到fici.com.hk這個域名的郵局服務器IP，或者有可能是因為對方 ec2biz.com 所使用的DNS服務器反應慢原因造成的，此種情況有時會造成郵件發送不了，如果郵件沒有發出去只要重新發送一次即可，出現這種錯誤是由於網絡環境原因導致查詢不到IP，偶爾都會有的，特別是一些域名是通過國外DNS進行解析。是很常見的，因為網絡牽涉到的東西太多了。
host sbcmx1.ec2biz.com[123.123.123.123] said: 553 5.3.0 ylpvm07, DNSBL:To request removal of, 255.255.255.255, send the complete error message in an E-mail to removeme@sbc.ec2biz.com (in reply to MAIL FROM command)	應該是123.123.123.123這個IP被對方拉入黑名單導致的。需要發郵件到removeme@sbc.ec2biz.com申訴。
host mxcanada.fici.com[123.123.123.123] said: 550 Command RCPT User not OK (in reply to RCPT TO command)	郵箱jacobkatz@fici.com有問題。550的錯誤通常跟帳號有關係，需要確認該郵箱是否存在或建起這個郵箱目錄是否完整等，具體請諮詢該服務器網管。
(yellobox@fici.com>: host mx5.fici.com[123.123.123.123] said: 554 qq Sorry, no valid recipients (#5.1.3) (in reply to end of DATA command)	不是有效的收件人，請客戶查看下接收者地址是否正確。
MX-record resolution of [fici.com] in progress (DNS Server: 123.123.123.123)... Name server reports domain name unknown. Attempting SMTP connection to [ec2biz.com : 25] A-record resolution of [ec2biz.com] in progress (DNS Server: 123.123.123.123)... Name server reports domain name unknown.	可以判斷是因為接收方郵局的mx沒有做或者做錯，另外也有可能是接收方郵局DNS設置錯誤造成的。這個跟第七個是一樣的。
host mx.mail.126.com[123.123.123.123] said: 554 sender is rejected: 0. (in reply to MAIL FROM command)	這是126.com封了我們郵局IP:218.5..

permission denied. Command output: maildrop: maildir over quota. maildrop: maildir over quota.	接收方信箱已經滿或者是發送方發送的郵件大小超出對方的接收郵件限額。

The Postfix program (info@fici.com>: host fici.com[123.123.123.123] said: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for info@fici.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)	這是對方服務器返回退信，是對方問題，提示對方服務器收到郵件後不能轉給它下面的用戶：info@fici.com
The Postfix program host ec2biz.com[123.123.123.123] said: 550 domain [china-channel.com] mismatches client ip 255.255.255.255. See http://202.100.64.111:8080/user/pbl/v.do?k=467736946847 (in reply to RCPT TO command)	此時可點擊以上鏈接，在打開的網頁中會出現相應的郵局退信提示。按頁面上的要求輸入驗證碼提交要求對方接受的請求，操作成功後會出現：操作成功！您已經加入到收件人的白名單中。請重新發送之前被拒絕的郵件。

Command output: sendmail: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option postdrop: warning: stdin: unexpected EOF in data, record type 78 length 76 postdrop: fatal: uid=12346: malformed input	此類問題通常是跟蹤設置的問題，需要查看客戶跟蹤設置是否有問題，如果客戶設置自己跟蹤自己，讓客戶取消這個設置。否則會引起出錯。
The Postfix program host mail.fici.com[123.123.123.123] said: 553 5.3.0 ... No such user (in reply to RCPT TO command)	跟上面的一樣murphyb@fici.com用戶不存在。

The Postfix program host mta-v1.mail.fici.com[123.123.123.123] said: 451 Message temporarily deferred - [170] (in reply to end of DATA command)	這個是客戶郵局郵箱發送的郵件在隊列中延遲比較久導致無法發送到對方的服務器，請重新發送該郵件就可以了。

The Postfix program (expanded from <"hw:ventas"@fici.com>): host mail3.ec2biz.com[123.123.123.123] said: 552 sorry, the spam message is detected (#5.6.0) (in reply to end of DATA command)	退信是對方服務器返回的，其認為客戶所發郵件帶有SPAM內容被拒。
The Postfix program lost connection with paladin2.fici.com[123.123.123.123] while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once	基本上是網絡問題，導致在發郵件時丟失連接。

qmail-forward: fatal: This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)	退信表明用戶stephen@fici.com設置了自動轉發，同時對方（轉發的用戶）同樣自動轉發給這個用戶，這樣的話，造成了循環，所以需要請這個用戶將一方的自動轉發去掉就可以了！
command line usage error. Command output: sendmail: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option.	這是客戶在郵局管理平台設置跟蹤設置時，跟蹤人地址設置為空導致的，請更改過來. 如果您按照我們頁面的outlook express設置方法設置完畢後，仍然不能正常使用，那麼您就要看看outlook具體的出錯信息裡面的錯誤號是多少？根據錯誤號和下表進行比對，一般來說，大多數的問題都可以解決。

How to configure Outlook Express With POP Before SMTP Relay
How to configure Outlook Express With POP Before SMTP Relay

Our use different SMTP relays for sending mail - POP before SMTP. In POP before SMTP, the relay system collects your IP address when you authenticate yourself with the POP server, and then permits SMTP relaying from that IP address for 5 minute.

In other words, you need to check your mail first, only then you can send your messages.

To configure your Outlook Express or any other e-mail client, you need to know your POP3 and SMTP servers address.

In this tutorial we will learn how to setup Outlook Express with POP Before SMTP Relay.

What is the maximum email size I can send and receive ?
What is the maximum email size I can send and receive ?

The maximum email size you can send and receive through our mail servers is 50 MByte. Anything bigger then that will be automatically bounced.

For bigger files you have to use your FTP!

And the maximum amount of emails which can be send out per hour is 30 emails from one account or 300 emails per domain and 700 emails per day, Focus Network Company reserves the violation of any of the foregoing may result in immediate deactivate or termination upon any indication of such activity without notice.

What is mail policy and email limits?
What is mail policy and email limits?

Mail Limits

There is an maximum amount of emails which can be send out per hour is 30 emails from one account or 300 emails per domain and 700 emails per day, this limit is also applied "Web Hosting Service", "Towards Mailing Lists" and "Online E-Store System". Focus Network Company reserves the violation of any of the foregoing may result in immediate deactivate or termination upon any indication of such activity without notice.

Many of our servers have a 60 pop checks per hour limit per email address.? If you go over this you're likely to get a wrong password error message saying login incorrect. Just wait an hour and it will automatically unlock you. to prevent this from happening again make sure to disable auto checking or at least set it to something higher such as 10 minutes.

Any mailing list larger than 2000 will require a dedicated server solution from us. Note: dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below this limit is not allowed.

We have a maximum size of emails of 50 MByte and under, any email over 50 MByte will be automatically rejected, please use your FTP to transfer big files!

Mailing Lists Rules
1. Anytime you're sending a message no matter how large your e-mail list is you must throttle it.? We recommend you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 6 seconds. If the mailing list software you're using does not allow you to throttle you must switch to something else. We recommend Mailman which can be found in your control panel under PLESK. If you do not throttle and you try sending let's say 1500 emails the server will try sending all 1500 in 1 second which is not possible. This will cause the server load to go very high and for the entire server to be sluggish until this process is completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running without being sluggish. Anyone who causes the servers load to go high will be suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose not to throttle you will most likely be suspended for crashing the server without notice.
2. Any mailing list over 100 emails is only allowed to be sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server loads. Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and Sunday, and 1am - 8 am eastern time M-F.
3. You are not allowed to mail to a mailing list you were given or purchased. This is spamming because they never agreed to you personally sending them mail. We do not care and how you justify it this is spam and will result in termination of the offending account.
4. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in termination of the offending account without notice. We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail.

文字輸入處理
文字輸入處理

對於商貿網站而言，內容文字佔著整體美觀感的重要環節，每頁適當地以整齊編排和簡短字數表達意思，可令訪問者看得容易理解和輕鬆，亦增強貴公司的企業型像。

在我們的系統裏已內置了容易操作的HTML編輯器，可針對產品內容簡介及各訊息頁面進行編輯或修改，這編輯器的基本使用方式跟普通文書處理軟件很接近，如有一般文書處理的經驗，在使用上應很快熟習，當然我們仍建議在正式編輯資料前先模擬試驗多次，可減少錯誤的出現。

以下是一些文字編排的注意事項：
- 除英文字元外，中文、日文和韓文(如有)，可為每個字元加空格以增加美觀
- 英文和數字請採用標準字元，請盡量不要輸入全型字元
- 應刪除所有整段文字的開頭、結尾的空格和空行。
- 特別的符號、“注音中文字”或“香港增補字符集”( http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/chi/hkscs/ )乃非標準字元，部份訪問者的電腦未有裝設此類字集，會出現亂碼情況，所以應盡量不要採用
- 如需輸入日文和韓文或其他雙位元文字，請自行了解相關的非標準字元問題，並應盡量不要採用
- 在相同頁面請勿同時存在英文以外的多種語言文字，例如中文加日文等，因會出現統一碼 (Unicode)不相容問題，引致出現亂碼情況
- 除標準英文字元外，其他文字均有一套相關的編碼，例如繁體中文是big5，簡體中文是gb，日文是shift-jis和EUC，每套編碼均不相同，所以應注意當輸入文字時，各種語言均不能同時存在(英文除外)，另外，當輸入時應注意所使用的電腦操作系統語言版本，例如以Windows輸入繁體中文，則該Windows必須是繁體版，其他亦然，因現時的電腦操作系統均為多語系相容，並可顯示各種語言文字，但實際輸入的文字在傳送到何服器時的編碼可能不同，並影響儲存或出現亂碼等問題
- 所有文字或圖型的編排應以簡單為基礎，因太複雜的編排會令訪問下載頁面增加需時，並可能出現無法整頁展示等問題
- 使用我們的HTML編輯器除了手作輸入外，亦可從其他途徑複制內容及貼上，但應注意勿貼上Microsoft Word的內容，因Microsoft Word的資料包含很多非必要而看不見的定義標籤，會令檔案增大及影響輸出
- 完成輸入後應預覽效果並在需要時作出修正
系統資料的輸入

所有數值相關的資料，例如售價、運費、數量等資料，只可使用“數字”和“.”，絕不可包含“英文字母”和“其他符號”。

正確的數值：
- 10
- 100
- 1000.5
- 10000.50
- 100000.50
- 1000000.50
- 10000000
不正確的數值：
- 10+
  包含了符號
- 一百
  系統不能辨認中國數字
- [1000.5]
  包含了符號
- １００００．５０
  系統不能辨認全型數字
- Ten Hundred Thousand
  系統不能辨認英文數目語法
- 1,000,000.50
  無需加入千位分隔點
- HK$10000000
  無需加入貨幣碼
關於中文資料的輸入

系統預設資料庫是“繁體中文”，所有中文文字、語句均應以“繁體中文”輸入，在網站上的“簡體中文”是由系統自動轉換而成的。

Why do I receive a SSL warning when I access control panel?
Why do I receive a SSL warning when I access control panel?

SSL provides a level of security and privacy for those wishing to conduct secure transactions over the Internet. Introduced by Netscape, the SSL protocol protects transmissions over the Internet by encrypting information as it passing between the server and the user. This insures that your transactions are not subject to "sniffing" by a third party.

The Plesk Panel provides two ways of access – Secured and Unencrypted. The first one encrypts the connection between your browser and control panel. The second one (Unencrypted) provides connection on the regular port 8880.

Since the Plesk Panel is a local one and is being accessed per Customer domain, we have installed a SSL certificate for server domain, which ensures your secured connection to the server when using the first method. The warnings are being prompted due to the fact that your domain name mismatches the one that the SSL is generated for (the server's).

However, this is not a reason for your connection to be left unencrypted and you may safely click Continue to this website (not recommended) when receiving the warning. Your connection will be surely encrypted.
- Example for Secured URL
  https://domainname.com:8443 (Recommended)
- Example for Unencrypted URL
  http://domainname.com:8880

Glossary

Font
Font

In typography, a typeface is a coordinated set of glyphs designed with stylistic unity. A typeface usually comprises an alphabet of letters, numerals, and punctuation marks; it may also include ideograms and symbols, or consist entirely of them, for example, mathematical or map-making symbols. The term typeface is often conflated with font, a term which, historically, had a number of distinct meanings before the advent of desktop publishing; these terms are now effectively synonymous when discussing digital typography. A helpful and still valid distinction between font and typeface is a font's status as a discrete commodity with legal restrictions, while typeface designates a visual appearance or style not immediately reducible to any one foundry's production or proprietary control.

The art and craft of designing typefaces is called type design. Designers of typefaces are called type designers, and often typographers. In digital typography, type designers are also known as font developers or font designers.

The size of typefaces and fonts is traditionally measured in points; point has been defined differently at different times, but now the most popular is the Desktop Publishing Point. Font size is also commonly measured in millimeters (mm) and inches.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an 8-bit-per-pixel bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability.

The format uses a palette of up to 256 distinct colors from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame. The color limitation makes the GIF format unsuitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for more simple images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.

GIF images are compressed using the LZW lossless data compression technique to reduce the file size without degrading the visual quality. This compression technique was patented in 1985. The controversy over the patent licensing agreement between the patent proprietor, Unisys, and CompuServe in 1994 led to the development of the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) standard.

SSL
SSL

Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols which provide secure communications on the Internet for such things as web browsing, e-mail, Internet faxing, instant messaging and other data transfers. There are slight differences between SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, but the protocol remains substantially the same. The term "TLS" as used here applies to both protocols unless clarified by context.

URL
URL

A Uniform Resource Locator(URL), is a compact string of characters used to identify or name a resource. The main purpose of this identification is to enable interaction with representations of the resource over a network, typically the World Wide Web, using specific protocols. URIs are defined in schemes defining a specific syntax and associated protocols.

如何利用異地備份隬補防毒軟件的不足

如何利用異地備份隬補防毒軟件的不足

從世衛在2009年4月24號發出的第一個人類豬流感個案開始，至今已有76個國家和超過3萬感染個案而豬流感病毒變種的問題也成為了全球關注的話題。其實在電腦的世界，惡性攻擊病毒每天在不斷的增加、更新和改變，而企業往往就因為病毒入侵而造成數據丟失和摧毀的受害者。如何防範數據丟失帶來的災難性影響，是企業I.T.部門經常要面對的挑戰。

企業單靠病毒掃描軟件並不足夠

根據美國FBI 2005的研究指出，約84%的公司會受到惡性病毒的攻擊。另外，美國網絡安全協會(Cyber Secure Institute) 的報告指出，企業為了清除各項病毒的花費高達90億美元！無論您為電腦做再好的隔離措施，例如擁有最新的防病毒軟件和頻密的病毒掃描，病毒也可以找到辦法入侵電腦系統然後摧毀公司重要的檔案，例如客戶清單、合約和訂單等等。公司因為數據丟失和內部電腦系統故障影響而到商譽也絕非金錢能隬補。所以，企業要防範數據丟失帶來的災難性影響，單靠病毒掃描軟件並不足夠。

設立災難性回復方案才能治本

其實要解決以上問題就要從根本著手，第一步就是要為企業電腦系統設立有效和快速的災難復原方案 (Disaster Recovery Solution)，而當中最重要的一環便是為每台電腦作鏡像備份(Image Backup)，這樣，當遇到病毒入侵造成數據丟失，企業便可快速地把事先備份好電腦鏡像直接恢復到電腦上，把受到感染或是有故障的電腦復原到正常狀態，確保企業持續運作，儲存於電腦內的業務數據亦能得以保存。

有資深企業備份經驗的Ahsay 銷售部經理候健生指出：「如何為企業設立有效和快速的災難復原方案是一個很大的課題，大小企業都需要正視。但對中小企來說，由於資源所限，加上公司內未必有專門負責I.T.方面的人員，所以很多中小企都未有實行。其實坊間都有不少能夠提供鏡像備份(Image Backup)的備份軟件，可以滿足基本備份需要。但這些軟件只能夠作本地備份，一旦公司的電腦受到病毒侵襲，用作儲存備份的電腦或伺服器亦可能已經中毒，導致已備份的鏡像無法還原而不能做到災難復原。所以企業應選擇具備異地鏡像備份的備份軟件，才能確保災難復原能發揮功效，因為就算本地公司內所有電腦和伺服器都已經中毒，儲存於異地的鏡像備份數據亦不會受到感染，企業便可快速地把電腦鏡像直接從異地恢復到電腦上，達至災難復原的目的。而Ahsay Backup Software 是市場上少數可以做到異地鏡像備份的企業備份方案。」

關於Ahsay

Ahsay Systems Corporation (亞勢系統有限公司) 建基於香港，目前在世界各地已擁有超過2, 900個服務合作夥伴和經銷商，並有超過90萬用戶安裝了Ahsay Backup Software備份軟件。

微軟證實Hotmail個人資料遭竊取

微軟證實Hotmail個人資料遭竊取

根據BBC（英國廣播公司）報導，微軟公司的Windows Live Hotmail遭到網絡黑客入侵，超過萬個hotmail客戶資料遭到竊取，這些資料多數來自歐洲，微軟並證實遭竊取的密碼都是正確的。

科技網誌neowin.net說，黑客除了盜取帳號密碼之外，又把盜取到的資料全數公布到網路上，超過上萬個hotmail帳戶的細節，2009年10月1日被貼上一個讓人分享密碼的網站pastebin.com。

Neowin聲稱這些帳戶可能是被黑或是利用網路釣魚搜集而來。網路釣魚攻擊者利用發送釣魚郵件給受害者，受害者點選後，會被導向釣魚網頁，就會洩漏了個人的機密資訊給予攻擊者，如個人的信用卡號碼、密碼、帳號等。

微軟目前表示，他們已經知悉此事，並正在積極了解及處理中。這件事透露出網路資訊安全的疑慮，若果個人資料遭到竊取，可能會有更多後續麻煩的事端。

33 Million Domains Registered in 2007
33 Million Domains Registered in 2007

Report released by VeriSign, shows that over 33 Million domain names were registered in 2007, bringing the total up to 153million domains.

Below is a summary of the report:

In the last quarter of 2007, the base of domain name registrations grew 27 percent over the fourth quarter of 2006 and five percent over the third quarter of 2007… The total base of Country Code Top Level Domain Names (ccTLDs) was 58 million, a 33 percent increase year over year and a six percent increase quarter over quarter. Across all of the gTLDs and ccTLDs, .com has the highest base followed by .de (Germany), .net and .cn (China). The fifth spot is shared by .uk (United Kingdom) and .org. with approximately the same size base of domain name registrations.

This release also states that the adoption of IPv6 has been relatively slow in the United States as compared to Asia and Europe. More than 100 domain name registries (i.e. top-level domain managers) support IPv6 for name servers and DNS queries including VeriSign who has supported IPv6 for .com and .net since 2002. The root name servers were enabled for IPv6 in February 2008 with the inclusion of IPv6 addresses for six of the thirteen root servers, including the A and J root servers operated by VeriSign.
