So Who / What Caused This Hiccup?
Me, of course. I used a webmail program, called “Horde,” on our server. It allows you to build a blacklist of all the spamming emails, match them against incoming ones, and drop the ones it recognizes straight into the shredder. The list grew to thousands of emails in no time, as I average 100-200 of spams a day. Not excessive by today’s standards, as we all know….
Funny part is that Tech Support was actually right in asserting the system was overloaded by either one or more scripts running at the time. Except it was one of the applications they provide gratis that locked the site up.
They and I obviously thought it was one or more of our newly minted scripts that had caused the problem. Thanks to detective Shreekant, our lead developer, that was not the case. Now we can concentrate on finishing the site ASAP. That’s what we are doing.
My postings from now on will be mostly about marketing activities, alliances, and business in general. (So I hope.) We’ll have a lot ot report!
