I've had several bad experiances with interland in the past, horrible support and they nickel and dime you. Just my opinion of course. :)]]>

I too have had some very bad experiences with Interland. Be forewarned.

I recommend MediaTemple and Hostway. Both offer top-notch features, are reasonably priced, and have the best customer service I have ever recieved in my life.

Looks like Lotus is adding spam filtering to Lotus in 6.5 which I believe we are supposed to actually get since the upgrade plan took so long that the next version was included in the purchase.

Congrats on the pregnancy, Brad! Hope everything goes smoothly. On a side note, does your company use SpamAssassin? That works the best for me. However, SpamBayes is a good fix when you don't have access to the e-mail server.]]>

Busy busy busy, as the the Bokonists say.

Anyway, agree with James that you might want to do some search before springing for Interland. WHT has a lot of horror stories related to Interland's customer service, billing, etc. I've been on a Rackshack server for almost two years now. Never had a network problem, and tech support was very responsive when I've need help.

Well, the question is, what is the look of collecting dust? I suppose we could use CSS to load different background images with the appearance of dust in some way. Perhaps we'd use an include/bit of code of some sort to look at the last mod time of the file, for statically rendered sites, or hit the database for dynamic sites, and figure out how much dust to add...

Of course it may have been some sort of rhetorical question, in which case, ignore me...

We had TERRIBLE problems with Interland. Their support sucks. They constantly try to upsell instead of fixing problems. They changed IP addresses in May for no real reason and opened us to a crapload of spam relaying. Even though it was a royal pain, we decided it was time to move all 60 sites to a new webserver in a new data center. After looking and asking a lot of questions, we settled on Netsonic (netsonic.net) and got a great deal for less than half what we paid at Interland (we needed more than just space -- we need backup service and extra IP addresses, for example). Support at Netsonic is fantastic. More than that, they're friendly people and small enough so that you don't get lost in the queue.]]>

I've found a disconnect between the business side and the tech side at Interland. I have been very happy with my server "itself", and in the rare instances that I have needed THEM to do something to fix something they broke, they have done it almost instantly. They screwed me on an upgrade that actually reduced my payment (I was paying years old rates for a legacy Hostpro server before the upgrade), but they made good eventually.]]>

SpamBayes

I just installed the SpamBayes plugin for Outlook, and so far I'm quite impressed. I discovered it only thanks to Brad's inability to use it any longer, and I'm beginning to see why he'll miss it. I'll post a longer...

I like this idea of a graphi-visual customisation, similar to iconico's fingerprint screensaver: Someone should develop a .. technique that makes your site look like it's collecting dust the longer...
