February 2003

In This Month's Issue:

Many clients use our mail server to send and receive vast amounts of information daily with no problems whatsoever, but there are some that occasionally receive error messages due to file size limitations. Adhost has a 5 MB limit on both sending and receiving mail, which insures fewer slowdowns for the mail server and helps to prevent individual problems with downloading large files via email. If you do have large files (such as a database, movie, or highly pixilated images) and are concerned about receiving/sending them through Adhost, we would be happy to set you up with a FTP folder on your site where the files may be securely uploaded by either you or your client and retrieved at your/their convenience. To learn more about the benefits of this and answer any questions you may have, please contact our support department at support@adhost.com.

BEWARE OF INVOICE SCAMS

You may have recently received in the mail an invoice from the "Internet Search Registry" for annual submission of your Web site to five of the top search engines. While this direct mail piece looks like an actual invoice, it is really nothing more than an advertisement and should be ignored.

For additional information and to see an example of the advertisement see the link below:
