Mail Server Woes...

About three weeks ago, hackers from China hijacked two of my customers' email accounts and sent as much spam as they could through my mail server in the 16 hours before it was detected and stopped.  Two and a half weeks later, Gmail still won't accept mail from my server.  It sends fewer than 200 messages total per day.  A small fraction of those are headed to Gmail's server.  I put a revised spam filter in place so the traffic is scrubbed with about 50% greater accuracy than before - nearly all the messages my server relays are not spam.

Looking through the rejected messages that have been returned by Gmail are requests for reservations, business deals mid-transaction, gmail customers looking for help using TrailsWeb's software.  All of them are unreachable because Gmail doesn't trust my server enough to allow anything through.

Looking around the web, many other postmasters are in the same boat.  Gmail has no system for addressing these kinds of events, nor do they indicate that any change will happen within any period of time.  They have a wonderful questionnaire that ultimately tells you to sit tight and it may change over time.  Meanwhile, I watch the $1000's add up in lost revenue for my customers that also use Gmail because their messages aren't getting through.

Perhaps tomorrow will be the day Gmail starts accepting messages from my server again... who knows?

Meanwhile, spam rates are at an all-time low for my inbox. :)

Henderson Companies Helps TrailsWeb Get Green

As the owner of TrailsWeb I'm always looking for ways to make the company more efficient.  Whether it means my servers use less power or I don't print invoices anymore, there's always ways to improve the way the company runs for the betterment of all.

One of our long time customers, R. Todd Henderson of the Henderson Companies, has a project in the works and invited me to participate in the green building initiative at its core.  Todd's project is a custom development which qualifies for LEED certification.  LEED is a set of regulations from the US Green Building Council with such rigorous criteria as parking fee discounts of at least 20% for residents with low emissions vehicles and exceeding local open space zoning requirements by 25%.

Use of renewable resources, minimizing impact of development, providing a healthy work environment and a safe and healthy living environment, and tons of other great criteria are all spelled out in exacting, measurable detail in the LEED guidelines.

Todd let TrailsWeb tag along on the LEED adventure and I'm very glad he did.  While constantly looking for ways to integrate my servers with the daily operations of my business - like providing tech support over the phone and handling invoicing and payment processing, it's always near the top of the priorities to design the systems in a way that they can be self-powered and brutally efficient.

Thanks again Todd for the opportunity to get caught up on how modern advances are making efficiency more and more accessible.

Secrets of the Web

Flagstaff websites are popping up left and right as fast as businesses themselves are coming into town. Sadly, many of these sights are poorly planned and are lacking in the Flagstaff web design department. Too many websites are being created by amateurs, and don't receive nearly as many visits as the website would have if a professional Flagstaff website design company had designed it.

Not many companies have the necessary skills to call themselves Flagstaff small business website design companies. TrailsWeb LLC is the only business in town that I know of, that will go above and beyond expectations to cater to your website needs. With advanced online marketing techniques as well as superb design skills, this Flagstaff website company is definitely the one to choose.

If you've been floundering around on the Internet trying to find a way to break into a highly competitive market with your website, call TrailsWeb and we can help. It's what we do best: Flagstaff web design and creating the best online experience for your clients when they visit your website.

Marantec Troubleshooting

It's so nice to have a garage door opener, instead of the archaic manually operated version of the garage door. It's even nicer to have a Marantec M3-631 keypad to add security and easy entry. It's especially nice to have if you've lost your garage door remote.

Something most people don't know about their Marantec M3-631 is that it's compatible with many different garage door openers. Some models that it is compatible with might not even have to be the same Marantec brand. It's just a testament to how hassle free these keypads are.

Personally, I prefer to use the keypad on a garage, as opposed to a clicker. With the Marantec M3-631, I don't have to carry a clicker around with me. That means I don't have to worry about losing it and not being able to get into my garage. For me, that's a good thing. I'd much prefer to remember a few numbers than have to carry around a garage door opener that I might lose anyway.
