Yesterday I was notified about not being able to deliver Pirate e-mails to me: "E-mail to you ... is bounced back saying "550 Access denied". I've checked all possible logs together with the admin but found nothing suspicious.

Afterwards I tried to modify my e-mail address (same domain, different name), the website logic is stuck in the verifying process, but the notification e-mail is still not comming.

For the ease of checking the logs, what is the mail server IP address I should check for?

I've tried yet another email account (different provider), it worked flawlessly in few seconds. I know now the sequence of SMTP servers (rather lengthy :)

Trying again the "wrong" server...

Unrelated to this, it looks like I need to clean up the help desk display, eh?

As you may have noticed, the messages come from apache@spy-hill.net. It may be that some anti-spam software things something from "apache@" is spam. But I would expect something other than 550.

I'd like to change that, but have not found how to do so yet.

First fruits of investigation... it looks like we (our company) have in the meantime got approx. 600 various drug etc. spams from ms-smtp-**.nyroc.rr.com [24.24.2.**] and the e-mails from spy-hill.net are traversing just through this set of SMTP servers just before contacting the ours. So our admin simply blocked rr.com and rr.net.

Now there is something unblocked at our side, but I don't know exactly what. But I finally receive e-mails from apache@spy-hill.net!

alvarez.localdomain (localhost [127.0.0.1])
alvarez.localdomain (alvarez.localdomain [192.168.1.12])
moonflower.localdomain (cpe-204-210-158-6.hvc.res.rr.com [204.210.158.6])
ms-smtp-0*.nyroc.rr.com (ms-smtp-01.nyroc.rr.com [24.24.2.5*])

BTW, is it possible to specify relative font size with the BBCode tags (like size=-3 or +3)? The [ size=nn ] code specifies fixed size and do not reflect browser's font size.

It's probably somehow up th the sender code to modify ...
I suppose it is handled in PHP & Co. by the web server. Is it your own code, or tuned Boinc code?

I've subscribed to this thread and will see if my changes fix the problem.

My first attempt failed to send any subscription notice. This should get it right...

The "rr" stands for RoadRunner, a high-speed internet service associated with Time-Warner cable. They serve about 26 states in the US, so blocking these will also block a lot of legitimate e-mail.

since when is the time shown in UTC? I remember the times being shown in PST or something else near you (I think it was EDT)?

after opening an already read thread (and/or after posting there?), the browser intentionally jumps at the most recent message. Is it intentionally different in the helpdesk, to see the problem question first, although I've already read it and there is no new message for me?

I'll later check the e-mail address change, whether the sender will be called "Apache" or "Pirates@Home" .

email change confirmation behaves still the same, gone from Apache:

From: Apache Message-Id: To: my@addr.ess Subject: Pirates@Home account email change

Thanks for testing this as well. I just fixed it here (I think - could you please test)...

Yes, now it looks fine (except the Return-Path, but.... that's mostly not visible anyway):

BTW, is it possible to specify relative font size with the BBCode tags (like size=-3 or +3)? The [ size=nn ] code specifies fixed size and do not reflect browser's font size.

So I've just changed the BBCode to do that. If you put + or - in the [size] tag then the size change will be relative. If no + or - then the size is in pixels.

There seem to be effectively 7 relative sizes (-2 ... +4) working out of allowed 15 (-7 ... +7), am I right?

I think it is more straightforward to resize some (more or less important) text this way, without trying 100 times and thinking of possible screen font sizes...

There seem to be effectively 7 relative sizes (-2 ... +4) working out of allowed 15 (-7 ... +7), am I right?

Yes. That is what HTML allows, so that is what I put in the BBCode -> HTML translation. [...] In general, on the web, you don't know the absolute size of anything, so it's better to specify relative sizes or postitions.

So, the last step would be to describe it on the BBCode tags description page. Somehow simply, because the exact description seen in the man files is only for geeks:

Perfect!
