Insanely busy

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Not too much time to say anything. Just grabbing a quick bit to eat for lunch before launching back into the fray. Have already done this month’s billing, been on and off the phone countless times with our ISP trying to pin down the exact cause of SMTP connection failures, had a number of Symantec “alerts”, and the ensuing panic that users call me with to find out what to do because the AV told them they had a virus, and I’m now trying to get everyone to change one little setting that should correct the connection failures. Fun, fun….

Secondly there’s Mailwasher 2.0Beta, which features hotmail support. As I said when I first installed Mailwasher on my home PC,…

    Progress that I’ve made on the $0 budget intranet so far this week: Installed SlimFTP for Uniserver plugin.
