B2B (business-to-bussiness)
B2B (business-to-bussiness)

Business-to-business electronic commerce (B2B) typically takes the form of automated processes between trading partners and is performed in much higher volumes than business-to-consumer (B2C) applications.

For example, a company that makes chicken feed would sell it to a chicken farm, another company, rather than directly to consumers. An example of a B2C transaction would be a consumer buying grain-fed chickens at a grocery store.

B2B can also encompass marketing activities between businesses, and not just the final transactions that result from marketing. B2B also is used to identify sales transactions between business. For example a company selling photocopiers would likely be a B2B sales organisation as opposed to a B2C (business to consumer) sales organisation.

Greylisting
Greylisting

Greylisting
Greylisting reduces the amount of unsolicited e-mail (SPAM) delivered to e-mail addresses by capitalizing on spammers’ reluctance to configure their mail servers properly.

Since most spammers do not retry sending email, the greylisting initially refuses all mail from unknown sources and accepts them on a later retry. This technology can cut spam as much as 95% of spam.

Industry News

Microsoft recommends against usage of SHA-1
Microsoft recommends against usage of SHA-1

Microsoft is advising its customers to stop using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm in cryptographic applications such as SSL/TLS encryption and code signing.

In a security advisory issued by the company, Microsoft said that it would stop recognising certificates using the algorithm after January 1, 2016. After this date, certificate authorities (CAs) that issue certificates under the Windows Root Certificate Program will only be able to issue SHA-2 certificates.

According to Microsoft, SHA-1 is used in 98 percent of all certificates issued worldwide. However, it also claims that since 2005 researchers have discovered collision attacks against the algorithm that mean it no longer meets its security standards. Although the announcement to drop SHA-1 comes today, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has been advising government agencies to move to SHA-2 since December 2011.

The ASD also has a slightly different opinion of when the collision attacks were first known, stating that "theoretically impressive attacks" against SHA-1 were known since 2004, but that they were not practical to implement.

ASD has already removed the "weakened but not broken" SHA-1 algorithm from use in its Information Security Manual.

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology, which published the algorithm, also stated in September 2012 that US federal agencies should stop using SHA-1.

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。

Why Should I Use Fetch Mail Instead of an Email Forwarder?

We are committed to improving the stability of services.

Unfortunately, it is very common for mail forwarding to cause blacklisting with many large email providers. This most commonly occurs when large amounts of mail are forwarded and then marked as spam after it has been received in the end user's inbox. This results in our server's sending reputation being penalized since it was the last server to send the mail. Ultimately, our server will be blacklisted with the email provider and it will affect all of other users on the same server.

A solution to this is to disabled mail forwarding altogether. change to using mail fetcher, you can access mail in a other system without having the mail routed through that system's server. This way, you can mark a message as spam without it affecting our email server's reputation.

The instructions below provide steps on how to fetch mail from our server so you can access them via Netvigator Mail.

Once Mail Fetcher is set up, Netvigator will check those accounts on a regular basis, and new mail will appear automatically in Netvigator mail.
- Log into your Netvigator account. https://www.netvigator.com/chi/email.php
- Click Preferences and locate the Accounts section.
- Click Add External Account.
- Enter the full email address in the Email address field.

網絡供應商(ISP)怎樣評價您發出電郵的信譽
網絡供應商(ISP)怎樣評價您發出電郵的信譽

現時網絡供應商根據寄件者IP地址的信譽來評價電郵的可信性，即是代表發電郵的域名必須保持良好的紀錄，盡量令收件者不會將自己的域名列為spammer。但有些寄件者並沒有一個獨立的IP地址，若與他人共用一個IP地址，便要多留意對方的行為。而且，假如於自己IP地址同一範圍內已有IP地址被列入spammer，亦會影響自己成為spammer的機會。除了IP地址影響電郵的可信性，以下三點亦是主要考慮的問題：
1. 垃圾郵件的投訴率太高
  
  現在有很多網絡供應商如Hotmail、MSN、AOL、Yahoo和Microsoft都提供回饋環服務(Feedback Loop)，一旦有收件者將你列為spammer，網絡供應商會向發件公司匯報有關情況，好讓及早檢討及改善電郵營銷方針。通常垃圾郵件投訴率不應多於1%，當超過1%時，網絡供應商就會開始考慮將所有電郵過濾，亦即是您很有可能會失去與另外99%客人的聯繫。
2. 垃圾郵件陷阱
  
  網絡供應商為防止spammer活動，會嘗試於網上散佈一些自己的電郵地址，故意讓spammer使用軟件搜尋到，當這些郵箱收到宣傳電郵，網絡供應商便知道此發件人很可能是spammer，這種方法被稱為垃圾郵件的陷阱。有些公司購買電郵地址以擴大database，這些電郵地址很多都是來歷不明，因此很容易跌入垃圾郵件的陷阱。
3. 不明來歷的電郵地址
  
  不明來歷電郵地址的定義是網絡供應商不能辨認的電郵地址，任何一間公司的Database List裡有太多不明電郵地址都是不健康的現象，當電郵到達網絡供應商時，若其中有很多不能辨認的電郵地址，網絡供應商會有可能將你標籤為spammer。
總括而言，除了網絡供應商有自訂的一套機制去偵測垃圾郵件，最重要的還是List的質素，即是permission based的電郵地址。這些未經用家同意的地址，即使寄出再有誠意的電郵，收件者亦會向網絡供應商回報你是spammer，加上垃圾郵件陷阱難以偵測，只好用盡千方百計避免成為spammer。方法如下：
- 淘汰無效或不活躍的電郵電址；
- 向網絡供應商登記回饋環服務(Feedback Loop)，監測垃圾郵件的情況；
- 使用double opt-in的方法，向收件人發出確認信以證明該郵箱是正確及屬於使用者的，以避免向一些不明電郵地址發出郵件。

在線上商店設立“討論區”，能有效幫助提升瀏覽量，進而令產品銷售業績達至更高峰。

專屬的“討論區”與一般外部連接的常見討論區具有很大的差別，因專屬“討論區”能跟商店風格完全配合，而且商店內的會員可直接參與討論，無需再次註冊，所以無論討論的會員與管理員均可輕鬆操作。

由於專屬“討論區”屬實時互動，所有在線的會員都能根據自己的喜好，參與不同話題的討論，會員之間亦可表達到產品的用後感，這樣更能節省會員發出向商店查詢的數目。

若您希望為會員提供理想的討論環境，那必需事先花點心思，開設多種不同話題的討論分區，並且多抽時間參與討論，這將能讓會員感到商店的熱誠服務。

由於“討論區”屬實時運作，所有會員發表的訊息將直接張貼顯示，但有些情況例如會員張貼負面訊息、違法內容、不可接受的廣告等，管理員便應盡快修改文章，甚或刪除之避免帶來負面影響。

進入“討論區總管”：
1. 點擊主選單的“訊息中心/電子報”
2. 點擊左選單的“討論區總管”
新增討論區：
1. 點擊主螢幕的“增加”按鈕
2. 輸入相關資料，例如“主題”、“說明簡介”
3. 選擇合適的狀態
4. 完成後按“增加”或“儲存”，或按“返回”放棄新增動作
每個討論分區包含的資料：
- 主題
  討論分區的主題名稱，最長32個字元，例如“購物心得分享”（必需輸入）
- 說明簡介
  討論分區的簡介，最長256個字元，例如“請發表您對本店產品的使用心得”（按需要輸入）
- 狀態
  討論分區在商店的展示狀態，請選擇“顯示”或“不顯示”
- 接受張貼狀態
  討論分區在商店的文章發表狀態，請選擇“開放張貼”或“禁止張貼”
- 排序
  若多於一個討論分區，請安排各分區的上下排序，數字越細代表排列越高
針對“討論分區”的動作：
- 開放狀態
  點擊狀態列的“綠色”或“紅色”按鈕
- 編輯
  修改已經增加的討論分區資料
- 刪除
  將該討論分區和當中的所有文章資料刪除
- 進入
  管理討論分區的文章
管理討論分區的文章：
1. 在討論分區點擊“進入”或“討論區主題”
2. 進入後，點擊文章的“主題”或“編輯”
3. 進入後，點擊希望管理的主題文章，或該主題的回覆文章
4. 點擊“編輯”進行修改，或點擊“刪除”把文章刪除
如何建立超級討論區會員（管理員）：
1. 在商店頁面，使用您的管理員專用的電郵地址，以正常的會員參加程序，建立一個會員帳號
2. 利用這個帳號登入商店，並前往討論區發表新文章，或進行回覆
3. 發表後的文章，在文章發表人的稱名前，將顯示標緻為“管理員”
注意事項：
- “討論區”的內容和主題，只屬互動性質的額外資訊，不會構成對產品銷售和其他功能的影響
- 所有發表的文章的動作，必需由已登記的會員進行，不能透過匿名方式張貼文章
- “討論區”必需建立完成，方能讓會員進行討論
- 討論區沒有限制主題和文章的數量，但當中的資料將佔據資料庫和您的可用硬碟空間，所以應定時刪除過舊的文章以節省儲存空間
- 管理員不應發表或回覆違法、欺詐、中傷、誹謗、淫褻、色情、褻瀆、恐嚇、污穢、討厭、令人反感或其他不良或過分的資訊
- 我們不會對討論區的文章內容提供支援或維護服務，當中包含的文章與我們無關，若文章內容導致任何法律責任或損失，均由業務擁有者承擔

“支援服務記錄”為您提供完善而有效率的客戶服務處理，使用這項獨特的功能，您可以集中管理所有經由商店發出的查詢，更可擺脫以往依靠電子郵件的零碎方式。

無論顧客針對一般事項、產品、訂單、以及合作的諮詢，所有雙方的對答都會被獨立而順序地記錄，而且在檢視處理進度裡，雙方都能由下至上了解當前的最近狀態。

您的每一項回覆，查詢者可透過點擊專用的網址超連結，直接檢視您的回覆細節，更可在需要時在同一頁面發表回應。

由於每項查詢記錄都有獨立的隨機產生“編碼”，所以查詢者無需依靠輸入密碼等煩瑣程序，便能透過“專用超連結”直接到達專屬的查詢記錄區域，而其他第三者是無法得述當中資訊。

我們強列建議您或其他相關的管理員，直接依賴這項“支援服務記錄”集中處理所有客服查詢，並且放棄舊模式的電子郵件作業。

進入“支援服務記錄”：
1. 點擊主選單的“訊息中心/電子報”
2. 點擊左選單的“支援服務記錄”
每項“支援服務記錄”包含的資料：
- 答覆查詢
  透過“浮動按鈕”進行回覆行動
  - 最近的回應
    該項查詢的最近回應內容
  - 回應部門
    如有多個部門的情況下，選擇一個合適的部門
  - 回應職員
    如有多位職員的情況下，選擇一位合適的職員
  - 回應狀態
    選擇一種合適的當前狀態
  - 郵件內付回覆內容
    是否在回覆郵件內付答覆的內容，如沒付有，查詢者只能點擊“專用超連結”到達網站檢視細節
  - 結束這項查詢
    選擇是否將該項查詢設為結束狀態（雙方無需繼續關注）
  - 重新開啟這項查詢
    選擇是否將已設為結束的查詢重新開啟

- 查詢訊息資料
  - 透過“浮動按鈕”檢視完整的查詢者資料及查詢訊息，或相關的“訂單資料”

  - 透過“浮動按鈕”檢視完整的查詢記錄
針對“支援服務記錄”的動作：
- 編輯
  修改或更新已經發表的服務記錄資料
- 刪除
  將該“支援服務記錄”刪除，此刪除動作只針對支援服務記錄資料，不會把其他資料刪除
注意事項：
- 若要修改“支援服務記錄”裡可用的“回應部門”、“回應職員”、“回應狀態”等名稱，請前往“系統設定”的“支援服務記錄”進行，而這些名稱資料強列建議於“初始設定”時處理，以避免日後修改對已建立的查詢出現影響
- 在“支援服務記錄”裡選用的各種名稱，例如“回應部門”、“回應職員”、“回應狀態”等，只屬方便辨認的稱呼
- 在一般情況下，應直接使用系統的“支援服務記錄”處理收到的查詢要求，並且不應用傳統的電子郵件進行回覆，若只以電子郵件處理查詢，系統將無法記錄有關資料
- 如果您使用其他途徑發出回覆，例如一般電子郵件往來，訊息將會被系統忽略而無法記錄，若收到查詢者只以電子郵件提問，請指示查詢者前往網站建立正式的“支援服務記錄”，以便往後的訊息能一一被系統記錄
- 您應直接負責所有的客服工作，因此請勿將查詢者發出的“查詢內容”提交給我們處理，若需我們跟進這類支援，每綜第三方支援收費為港幣1200起，並且需事先付款
- 基於私隱問題，在任何情況下，您均不應向第三者透露您的查詢者資料，或未經查詢者同意前，將有關訊息用於別處

我們的“網上開店”系統支援多種廣告方案，除了一般靜態圖片橫額外，亦支援客戶自訂HTML及動態廣告功能。

您可以透過“廣告總管”放置自己的產品宣傳、優惠資訊、出版者在線廣告、以及“合作機構”的廣告，而且每個廣告都附有統計資料，讓您拿捏每個廣告的宣傳成效。

系統對於各種廣告的管理，採用“廣告群組”的方式，其優點是只要您將不同的廣告配合群組，在佔用頁面最少位置的情況下，同一群組的多個廣告將由系統“隨機抽選顯示”，每當頁面被刷新後，廣告亦隨之由其他同群組的替換。

系統已經預置一些群組位置，您只要新增廣告時選用預設群組，即可簡易完成設置，但若嫌不足，您仍可增加更多自訂群組，在頁面其他指定位置顯示廣告。

若新增自訂群組的廣告，新增後並不會隨即顯示，您仍需要把廣告標籤放置於某些地方才能顯示，例如修改店面模版的HTML、放置於“分類目錄”、“產品說明”、“首頁文字”等位置。
進入“廣告總管”：
1. 點擊主選單的“系統工具”
2. 點擊左選單的“廣告總管”
“廣告型式”及包含的資料：
- “上載圖片”靜態廣告
- “自訂HTML”動態廣告
更改“廣告”顯示狀態：
- 狀態
  點擊狀態列的“綠色”或“紅色”按鈕
針對“廣告”的動作：
- 新增廣告
  新增一項廣告
- 編輯
  修改已經建立的廣告
- 刪除
  將該廣告刪除
- 資訊
  檢視廣告的資料，以及“廣告標籤”
注意事項：
- “廣告標籤”(Tag)的格式是[[HTML:BANNER_XXXXXXX]]，請將XXXXXXX替換成您的群組，而標籤不可包含空格在內，如果您的群組是MYBANNER，則標籤將會是[[HTML:BANNER_MYBANNER]]
- 所有廣告必需在“網站模版”的HTML正確地插入“廣告標籤”才會被顯示
- 大部份“網站模版”均已放置了預設的“廣告群組”標籤，但基於少部份“網站模版”的設計，可能未有預先放置標籤，此情況必需修改模版的HTML才能顯示
- 新增或修改過的廣告屬即時生效，如若廣告是啟用中、標籤放置正確、以及顯示條件及設定是正確的情況下，廣告應隨即在網站展示，若未有顯示則需再次細心檢查設定是否無誤，模版是否已放置“標籤”
- 同一群組多於一個廣告，這些廣告的隨機展示。每一項廣告都會有各自的“瀏覽次數 / 擊點次數”統計，但“自訂HTML”動態廣告或“自訂文字”將不會提供“擊點次數”統計
- 由於設置“自訂群組”及“自訂廣告”需修改“網站模版”的HTML，若設置出錯，將令網站不能正常顯示，所以強列建議由專業及具經驗者進行，而我們並不提供上述的免費支援服務
