Secure and Configure your Mail server

Wevio Inc ™ — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:36:29 +0000

Configuring Mail

You can configure the following server-wide mail system settings:

The maximum allowable size of any e-mail received on the server.
Relaying mode. Relaying affects only the mail sending, it does not in any way change the way mail is received on the server. Mail relaying can work in one of three modes: open relay, closed relay and relay with authorization.
- Open relay – selecting this allows any host computer to utilize the mail services of any domain on the server, to send and/or receive mail. In this mode, no password is required.
- Closed relay – selecting this only allows mail to be sent and received locally (to and from domains residing on the server). The only exception would be hosts specified as allowable relay hosts in the White list.
- Authorization required – selecting this allows any host computer to utilize the mail services of a domain on the server, provided that a valid username and password are used to authenticate the mail user.
  - POP3 – requires a POP3 login before sending mail. The lock time field sets the allowed time given for sending mail after login. During the lock time, any e-mail sent from the initial IP address will be accepted without requiring a password to be re-entered.
  - SMTP – smtp authentication (the Plesk mail system supports LOGIN, CRAM-MD5 and PLAIN methods of smtp authorization) requires a password every time you send an e-mail.
White List. Use it to define several IP-addresses with masks from which mail will always be accepted.
Black List. Use it to define the mail domains from which you do not allow mail to be received.
MAPS spam protection. Enable the external mail abuse prevention system, which can help you defend your customers from abuse by spammers.
Type of mail account names that can be used on the server.

In order to set up the mail system, follow these steps:

Click the Mail icon on the Server administration page. The Mail system management page will open:
To set the maximum letter size allowed on the server, click in the Maximum letter size text box and enter the desired value in Kilobytes. Click Set to submit.
To set the mail system relay mode, select a corresponding radio button. For relaying that requires authorization, select the Authorization is required radio button. You must then select an authorization type, which can be POP3, SMTP or both.
- POP3 – Click in the checkbox next to POP3 to enable this mode of authorization. You must then set the lock time; the default setting is 20 minutes.
- SMTP – Click in the checkbox next to SMTP to enable this authorization mode.
Click Set to submit.
To add an IP address/mask to the White List, type in the appropriate IP address and mask in the fields provided. Click Add to submit. The address selected will appear in the IP list.
To remove an IP address/mask from the White List, select the IP address you wish to delete from the IP list. Click Remove.
To add a mail blocker, click in the text box in the Domain Name field and enter the domain name from which you want the mail to be rejected. Click Add to submit. The domain you selected will appear in the list of blocked domains.
To remove a mail blocker, select the domain you wish to remove from the list of blocked domains. Click Remove.
To enable the external Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS) select the Enable MAPS spam protection checkbox, enter the hostname or IP-address of the external MAPS server in the MAPS zone(s) field and click Set.
To define the mail name type that you want to be used for the POP3/IMAP accounts, select a required radio button. Two options are provided: 1) use of both short (e.g. webmaster) and full (e.g. webmaster@domain.com) mail names, and 2) use of full mail names only. Click Set to submit your settings.

Google Fonts API

Wevio Inc ™ — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:34:51 +0000

A quick example

Here’s an example. Copy and paste the following HTML into a file:


  
    
    
  
  
    Making the Web Beautiful!

Then open the file in a modern web browser. You should see a page displaying the following, in the font called Tangerine:

Making the Web Beautiful!

That sentence is ordinary text, so you can change how it looks by using CSS. Try adding a shadow to the style in the previous example:

body {
  font-family: 'Tangerine', serif;
  font-size: 48px;
  text-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #aaa;
}

You should now see a drop shadow under the text:

Making the Web Beautiful!

And that’s only the beginning of what you can do with the Web Fonts API and CSS.

Overview

You can start using the Google Web Fonts API in just two steps:

Add a stylesheet link to request the desired web font(s):
Style an element with the requested web font, either in a stylesheet:
```
CSS selector {
  font-family: 'Font Name', serif;
}
```
or with an inline style on the element itself:
```
Your text
```

Note: When specifying a web font in a CSS style, always list at least one fallback web-safe font in order to avoid unexpected behaviors. In particular, add a CSS generic font name like serif or sans-serif to the end of the list, so the browser can fall back to its default fonts if need be.

For a list of web fonts you can use, see Google Web Fonts.

Specifying font families and styles in a stylesheet URL

To determine what URL to use in your stylesheet link, start with the Google Web Fonts API base URL:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css

Then, add the family= URL parameter, with one or more font family names and styles.

For example, to request the Inconsolata font:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata

Note: Replace any spaces in the font family name with plus signs (+).

To request multiple font families, separate the names with a pipe character (|).

For example, to request the fonts Tangerine, Inconsolata, and Droid Sans:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine|Inconsolata|Droid+Sans

Requesting multiple fonts allows you to use all of those fonts in your page. (But don’t go overboard; most pages don’t need very many fonts, and requesting a lot of fonts may make your pages slow to load.)

The Web Fonts API provides the regular version of the requested fonts by default. To request other styles or weights, append a colon (:) to the name of the font, followed by a list of styles or weights separated by commas (,).

For example:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine:bold,bolditalic|Inconsolata:italic|Droid+Sans

To find out which styles and weights are available for a given font, see the font’s listing in Google Web Fonts.

For each style you request, you can give either the full name or an abbreviation; for weights, you can alternatively specify a numerical weight:

Style	Specifiers
italic	`italic` or `i`
bold	`bold` or `b` or a numerical weight such as 700
bold italic	`bolditalic` or `bi`

For example, to request Cantarell italic and Droid Serif bold, you could use any of the following URLs:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cantarell:italic|Droid+Serif:bold

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cantarell:i|Droid+Serif:b

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cantarell:i|Droid+Serif:700

Specifying script subsets

Some of the fonts in the Google Font Directory support multiple scripts (like Latin and Cyrillic for example). In order to specify which subsets should be downloaded the subset parameter should be appended to the URL.

For example, to request the Cyrillic subset of the Philosopher font, the URL would be:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Philosopher&subset=cyrillic

To request both the Latin and Cyrillic subset of the Philosopher font, the URL would be:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Philosopher&subset=latin,cyrillic

For a complete list of available fonts and font subsets please see Google Web Fonts.

Optimizing your font requests (Beta)

Oftentimes, when you want to use a web font on your website or application, you know in advance which letters you’ll need. This often occurs when you’re using a web font in a logo or heading.

In these cases, you should consider specifying a text= value in your font request URL. This allows Google to return a font file that’s optimized for your request. In some cases, this can reduce the size of the font file by up to 90%.

To use this new beta feature, simply add text= to your Google Web Fonts API requests. For example if you’re only using Inconsolata for the title of your blog, you can put the title itself as the value of text=. Here is what the request would look like:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata&text=Hello

As with all query strings, you should URL-encode the value:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata&text=Hello%20World

This feature also works for international fonts, allowing you to specify UTF-8 characters. For example, ¡Hola! is represented as:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata&text=%c2%a1Hola!

Note: there’s no need to specify the subset= parameter when using text= as it allows you to refer to any character in the original font.

SEO’s Three Stages Of Keyword Success

Wevio Inc ™ — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:30:15 +0000

Everyone wants SEO for his website. This is because Search Engine Optimization helps a website to be indexed in high priority by search engines. Such high priority comes with good traffic for your website. So, you can also make money out of your website. SEO can be accomplished with a number of tricks and strategies as well. However, the important factor is that you should use keywords and tags for your benefit. Now what should you do with these keywords? How can they help you make your website successful? And how long will it actually take? We will see the answers of these keywords.

The first type of keywords is that of branded keywords. Branded keywords are those, which contain the name of your company. So, these keywords should be filled around adequately in your content. Now, you can go ahead with promotions and ads. When people become aware, they will search for your company website. They will find your company database through your links. For this, you will have to paste links and advertising campaigns on a number of places on the Internet. These promos will bring in more search engine crawlers and bots. Thus, the website will be indexed by search engines.

The second type of keywords is that of non-branded, long-tail keywords. These keywords are more generic than your branded keywords and tags. They will be like a bigger keyword about some product or service. These are also frequently searched by people on the search engines. So, you will have to include these words a lot on the tags. The search engine detectors will find out that your webpages have these specific words and tags. They will index the pages of your website in their search results. So, this stage will last for about 6-8 months.

The last type of keywords is that of short-tail keywords. These words narrow down to the basic terms for products and services. So, these are the simplest words to describe the specific products and services. When people type these words or phrases as queries, they will find a number of websites and databases listed. So, you should fill them up strategically in your entire web domain. You would have to do this so as to gain an upper hand on the numerous other websites and databases. This phase will take about more than 6-8 months. However, patience is a virtue and the results will be well worth the wait.
