Simple Way To Handle Different Merchants' Accounts As Easily As Different Mailboxes

Being a merchant with many affiliates can be a very profitable business. However, most of the merchants find it clumsy and cumbersome to handle different merchant accounts in multiple systems. When you are able to offer multiple payment options the sales improve dramatically because it suits more people to do business with you. However, setting up different merchant accounts for each product and payment can be so, so tiring.

The only one buy-now button would mean more freedom, less time spent in manning and simplification of an otherwise highly cumbersome process.As a matter you could do so with the present systems, but the pain in setting up such an arrangements usually deter merchants from taking it up as the effort far exceeds the profits that would accrue from it. An affiliate would not only be able to multiply your profits, but also take a lot of load off your shoulders in promoting your products on different online websites, forums using various online marketing methods. Definitely, having an affiliate would help your business grow exponentially.There are many payment systems as you very well know and there is the limitation when you use such systems, i.e. you can do sales yourself but you cannot use an affiliate for the same. So, your profits would depend solely on what you can do yourself. If you had this limitation removed and were able to accept affiliates, would it not be great?In this way you could set up as many affiliates as you have payment systems which would mean you could have the opportunity of multiplying your profits just so many times over.There are excellent programs out there such as Click2Sell.EU ( http://www.click2sell.eu ) which give you total and full control over your payment systems. This program helps you to have a complete picture in one panel so you could at any time check on any particular aspect of your accounts. Without such a program, it would be extremely not difficult but impossible for you to stay on top of every system; nor would you be able to have your own affiliates.So what could be the solution here? It would be just great to be able to manage everything from just one place without the whole thing clogging up your sales-page with many buy-now buttons from all the different systems you man; where just one pay-now button would do the job. This would be not only highly functional but also effective and pleasant to the eye.There is tremendous benefit in being able to coordinate them through one point rather than checking them out individually. Each payment system could have its own separate commission plan, payment schedule, product list and so on. When you have a program that allows you to check on all of them just like you would check all your mail boxes through outlook express � this would save you time and a lot of headache, besides giving you instant information about all the payment systems.The Benefits Of Handling Everything In The Same Place

There are excellent programs out there such as Click2Sell.EU ( http://www.click2sell.eu ) which give you total and full control over your payment systems.

Introduction to Innovative Mail Filtering with AXIGEN

1. The problem with electronic mail today

- Quarantining means that the unwanted mail would end up in a rather large quaran�tined space. Suppose we only do this for malware as detected by an antivirus con�tent filter: viruses, worms, phishing. Can we alert the receiver for every quar�an�tined mail that was heading to their inbox? Realistically, no, because the mal�ware traffic can reach really high levels. Add to this that almost all of it is spoofed and you risk to get into situations in which innocent people are blamed for spreading malware, when their only fault would be the fact that their address is known by spammers. So, when a mail is quarantined, neither the sen�der, nor the recipients are usually aware of it. If through some other means one or both of them find out about the missing mail, typically the receiver will have to alert his/her administrator of the mishap in order to gain access to the quarantined mail.2. Traditional filtering in AXIGENStarting with version 6.2.2, AXIGEN can integrate with a Milter filter at the SMTP level, enabling scanning of the incoming SMTP connections. The possibility to scan a message before receiving it opens up new perspectives, as it enables us to refuse a message if the content filters strongly indicate that the scanned message is unwanted.4. To learn more about our innovative, Milter-based filtering, please visit: http://www.axigen.com/articles/innovative-mail-filtering_51.html, or contact us at sales@axigen.com. We also invite you to sign up to our free, live webinar organized in partnership with the The Radicati Group: http://www.axigen.com/webinars/linux-messaging/For one thing, we do not accept the message and no further resources are allocated to this mail: processing, storage, backup, double-checks etc. For unwanted traffic, this is a very good thing as it minimizes your problems. However, what happens if, unfortunately, the refused message is a legitimate mail? Let�s compare the three valid choices: quarantining, tagging or refusing the message.From its very beginnings, AXIGEN has integrated open-source filters such as SpamAssassin and ClamAV and has used the fastest way to process mails through them by interfacing with their daemons directly. But this usage scenario had a major downside: mail messa�ges were scanned in the queue, after having been accepted by the mail server. As a result, �Spam� folders had the tendency to grow indefinitely and waste space in the server storage and backup mediums.- Tagging, often applied to spam messages, means the message will usually end up in a sub-folder of the recipient�s mailbox, typically named �Spam�. He/she may or may not check that folder for false positives, but as no filter is perfect, sooner or later some legitimate mail will end up in �Spam�. When that happens, neither the sender, nor the recipient will be aware of it. If through some other means, one or both of them find out about the missing mail, the receiver will usually have to dig through its spam folder to find the legitimate mail. This may be quick if he/she knows the exact coordinates of that mail (sender, date, subject), or may be a daunting task if the �Spam� folder is rather large and the data is very vague (eg. "Should have received a mail from a South American company with some financial info").Let�s take a simple example, in which the decision to reject a mail was taken by the Milter filter by evaluating the results of the antivirus scanner. Why would this be a better choice than quarantining, for example, or tagging?Email is not what it was supposed to be. Its inventors have not foreseen the dan�gers associated with this new form of communication. Means of protection were added later on, but do little to protect people�s mailboxes. As a result, most of the mail traffic these days is unwanted: spam, malware, phishing. How can we use the AXIGEN Mail Server and existing free anti-spam, antivirus and anti-phishing software and technologies so that the result is more than the sum of the parts?

How To Market Your Home For A Quick Sale and High Price

Marketing can be one of the most frustrating things to do when you are selling your home without a realtor. Here is a quick checklist to help you:

Flowering plants are categorized as either Annuals, Biennials or Perennials. Annuals will complete their entire life cycle in one growing season. Their seeds are planted in the spring, the plant grows rather quickly and blooms that same season. Marigolds and sunflowers are examples of flowering annuals.Tip #4 - If possible, do not carry your credit cards in your purse or wallet. If the worst happens and your wallet is stolen, you will not lose both your credit cards and your cash.A biennial plant will spend its first growing season establishing itself and storing energy. But it�s not until the following growing season that a biennial will bloom. Foxgloves and hollyhocks are biennials.So, what other measures can you take to stop you being a victim of credit card fraud? Here are some more tips:So there you have it.......Follow the tips above to reduce your chances of becoming a victim of credit card fraud!An �se� variety is a sugary enhanced hybrid. These varieties have a smooth, butter texture, very tender kernels and a longer harvest period. Sugary enhanced hybrids also tend to not cross pollinate readily, and need not be isolated from your neighbor�s corn.1. After you have prepared your house for sale, Take a fresh look at all the good and bad features of your house and put it in writing.9. Be prepared for negotiations. Don't take negative comments about the house personally. They are talking about the house, not you. By maintaining a professional attitude, you will be able to get a better price. This can be the most costly part of the home selling experience, so be careful of what you say. For a detailed description on how to handle negotiations when selling your house without a realtor, go to: http://www.netman-ecommerce-guru.com/home-selling-secretsSupersweet hybrid corn is designated as �sh2�. These varieties have a gene that enhances their sweetness and produces firm, crisp and juicy kernels. The texture is not as creamy as �se� or �su� varieties, but supersweet varieties do hold their flavor for up to ten days after harvest, making them a good choice for commercial growers. Supersweet corn will cross pollinate readily with other corn varieties, resulting in starchy kernels, so it�s best to plant supersweet varieties at least 25 feet from other corn in your garden.Perennials are plants that will continue to grow year after year without being replanted. They typically go dormant over winter and grow back from their roots the following spring. Astilbe, hostas and daylilies are examples of perennials.First of all, when you see any of these designations after the variety name, you�ll know you�re looking at a hybrid corn variety. These hybrids have been developed for certain desirable characteristics, such as flavor, tenderness, or durability for shipping.

10. Have an purchase order form ready. Ask for the sale. Always use a lawyer to make sure you are not making an expensive mistake. After the purchase agreement is signed, beware of "buyer's remorse". People often get scared and want to change their mind soon after they put in an offer. To avoid losing a sale, be sure to respond with a counter-offer quickly.

10 Tips To Prevent You From Being A Victim Of Credit Card Fraud

Victims of credit card fraud can tell you just how traumatic it can be. It's not just the potential money loss, it can also leave a bad mark on your credit report that can take years to sort out.

�Black Seeded Simpson (45 Day) Crisp, tender and sweet. Heat resistant. Pkt. $1.25�Before choosing seeds from a catalog, you�ll need to know which growing zone you live in. Growing zones, also known as hardiness zones, are based on the average minimum temperatures for each zone. A growing zone map is included in every good garden catalog, making it quite easy to identify your garden�s hardiness zone. Growing zones with higher numbers are in warmer climates, while growing zones with lower numbers are in the north.6. Have a sript ready when people phone about the house. Keep your benefit-feature sheet handy and use the appropriate points as people ask questions. Be sure to ask a "closing question" to bring people in to see your house.Tip #9 - If you move house, let your credit card issuer know the new address as soon as possible. Thieves make it their business to know what is happening in the neighbourhood and will check mailboxes at empty houses hoping to pick up letters with bank, credit card and identity details.2. Next, prepare a list of just the good features and the benefit you have enjoyed from them over the years. Write these out...benefits followed by features. People are attracted to the "sizzle", not the steak. Benefits are your sizzle. People buy benefits, not features, so get the benefits of your house clear in your mind.* You find out that someone has gone through the trash bags you left outside for the trash pick-up. Several days later you get your credit card statement and there are lots of purchases you knew nothing about.Take sweet corn, for instance. The catalog description may indicate the length you can expect each ear to be at maturity, and even how many rows of kernels to expect on each ear. But you may also see some odd letters after the names of the corn varieties offered in some catalogs. EH, se, sh2, su�it�s like a secret code. Actually, these letters tell you a little about the flavor you can expect long before you ever bite into the first sweet, tender ear.4. Use the benefit-feature list to write an ad for your "ideal" buyer. Target the headline so it stops your IDEAL buyer dead in their tracks! Then use a strong opening line to bring them in to the body copy where you describe your house. Always end with a call to action. Make it easy for the buyer to reach you to ask quesitons or for a showing.Tip #7 - Never ever sign a blank receipt. Cross out any blank lines for tips on the receipt so that charges cannot be added. Always check your receipt befor you sign.Tip #1 - Never give out your credit card details to people who call to sell to you. Only provide it when you call a company to place a phone order and when you are sure that you are dealing with well-established reputable business.Most people think that credit card fraud is when your wallet or purse is stolen, and the thief uses your credit cards to buy all sorts of goods and services.7. Hold open houses. This is where you will get to speak to people in person so you can drive home the benefits. Be professional as you walk around the house, highlighting the features with benefits from the worksheet you created earlier.An �su� hybrid is a normal sugary hybrid. They tend to be creamy and sweet, but they don�t store well. An �su� hybrid should be eaten within a couple of days of harvest. This would be a good choice for a home garden, but a poor choice for a commercial corn grower. They tend to not cross pollinate with the neighbor�s corn.8. Get feedback from people when they finish the walk- through. If they seem interested, follow up with a phone call within 48 hours.That�s pretty simple, right? But catalog descriptions aren�t that cut and dried for every vegetable.Give this "sizzle list" to everyone who comes to look at the house, post it in the local community centre, put it in all the mailboxes in a four block radius, put a few in all the shops in the neighbourhood.For best results and the most satisfaction from your gardening efforts, always choose seeds for plants that are hardy to the growing zone you live in. Buy seeds from a reputable company and avoid discounted seeds left over from the previous year. Most seed companies print planting instructions for each seed variety right on the back of the seed packet. By following these instructions carefully and choosing your seeds wisely, you�ll be well on your way to having a terrific garden.10. Have an purchase order form ready. Ask for the sale. Always use a lawyer to make sure you are not making an expensive mistake. After the purchase agreement is signed, beware of "buyer's remorse". People often get scared and want to change their mind soon after they put in an offer. To avoid losing a sale, be sure to respond with a counter-offer quickly.

So there you have it.......Follow the tips above to reduce your chances of becoming a victim of credit card fraud!

How to Read a Seed Catalog

Long before the first daffodils of the year come into bloom, seed catalogs are delivered to our mailboxes to herald the arrival of Spring. A good seed catalog contains so much information, it can sometimes be overwhelming for a novice gardener to decide which seeds to buy for their garden. Today I�ll explain how to interpret catalog descriptions for vegetable, herb and flower seeds.

However, the number of purchases made online is growing at an incredible rate and so is the theft or misappropriation of people's credit card details. All the thief needs to cause havoc to your account is your credit card details, number, expiry date, name and security code.Tip #3 - Make sure that you watch the waiter when he processes your bill and make sure that he knows you are watching. If he takes your card, insist that you go with him to the pay station to complete the transaction.* You get a phone call where the person on the line tells you about a special offer usually needing a fast response and your credit card details to make the purchase.3. Develop an "ideal buyer"profile of who would be interested in buying your house. People living in an area often have similar characteristics. Describe the age, occupation, income, lifestyle interests and pet peeves. Put all this in writing.5. Put up a sign in front of your house. As many as 50% of all houses are sold because either the buyer or someone who knows the buyer saw a for sale sign in front of the house. Make sure the sign can be read quickly as people are driving by.Let�s start with vegetable and herb seed descriptions, since they�re fairly straightforward. A typical catalog listing for these seeds will look something like this description for lettuce seeds:For all perennials, biennials, trees and shrubs, catalogs will indicate the range of zones in which the plants will perform consistently. For instance, Blue Fountains delphinium is listed as hardy in zones 3-7. This plant would not be likely to survive a long, cold winter in zone 2, nor would it tend to grow well in the heat of zones 8 or 9.In this description, �Black Seeded Simpson� is the name of the lettuce variety. �45 Day� refers to the average length of time from when the seeds germinate until the plant matures and is ready to harvest. Keep in mind that this number should be used only as an estimation. The actual maturity time will vary slightly with your particular growing conditions and the weather. This number is a rough guide and should be used mostly as a comparison with other varieties and when planning when to plant successive crops.Writing powerful ads that work takes practice. Take your time in writing and re-writing several ads. You could easily blow away your money on ads that don't get you a buyer. For detailed instructions on getting the most from your ads and pre-written ads that are proven to get results go to: http://www.netman-ecommerce-guru.com/home-selling-secretsTip #5 - Only take the credit card that you are going to use that day - leave the others at home in a safe place.Now let�s talk about flower seeds.Here are a few ways that a thief can get your details with appropriate prevention tips:Tip #6 - Make a list of all your credit card details and issuer contact details. The sooner you can report any loss the less damage can be done and your accounts can be frozen until new cards are issued.To prevent this from happening it is recommended that you take note of the followng credit card advice.Tip #8 - If you are buying goods online make sure that you do so via a secure site.

For best results and the most satisfaction from your gardening efforts, always choose seeds for plants that are hardy to the growing zone you live in. Buy seeds from a reputable company and avoid discounted seeds left over from the previous year. Most seed companies print planting instructions for each seed variety right on the back of the seed packet. By following these instructions carefully and choosing your seeds wisely, you�ll be well on your way to having a terrific garden.

What Everyone Should Know About Reducing the Risk of Identity Theft

Identity theft commonly begins with the loss or theft of a wallet or purse. But there are many or high-tech and low-tech ways criminals can get their hands on your personal and financial information in order to commit identity theft.

� Carry with your only the information you need. Always keep your personal information and documents in a safe and secured place of your choosing.High-Tech Techniques: Data transferred across the Internet can be intercepted during its journey.For extensive information about ways to protect your identity, visit "Protecting Your Identity" at http://www.ProtectingYourIdentity.blogspot.com/.Criminals are increasingly creative in the methods they use to get their hands or eyes on your personal information, and ultimately, your money. Here are some of the low-tech techniques they employ:� Before disclosing personal information, even to people you know where you shop or do business, insist on knowing the reason(s) your personal information is required and how it will be used.Once the user has understood what exactly are the functions of POP3 email accounts and its uses, he can choose a hosting package that offers POP3 email accounts with their respective support. It is equally advisable to first check with the web host whether these POP3 accounts are offered within the hosting package or come at an additional monthly cost. For most web masters, POP3 accounts are indispensable and therefore it becomes imperative to opt for a web hosting service that offers this feature. The company's support needs to be of high quality as well in order to ensure smooth web hosting. Any kind of laxity or errors can cost you hundreds to millions of dollars, which is highly undesirable. Some hosting packages may include "unlimited POP3 accounts" or perhaps a set number of POP3 accounts. It is advisable therefore to first determine your requirement before selecting the hosting package with its corresponding POP3 account allowance. Lap up on ample knowledge and then select a package that would befit your website requirements.� Order and review a copy of your credit report at least once a year.� Do not give your Social Security number to people or companies that you do not know.� Skimming: Thieves quickly and temporarily steal a credit card and run it through a skimmer, a credit card reader that has been reprogrammed to steal information off the card.Fight Back: Reduce the Risks� They both are open protocols, defined by Internet RFCs.� Phishing and Pharming: While phishing is a scam in which consumers are tricked into entering their personal information via a bogus email and website form, pharming occurs where hackers steal personal information from numerous people simultaneously through something known as "domain spoofing". They take over a DNS server and redirect user information to a new website that they use to gather, collect, "pharm" illegal information.A safelist is a website that provides a way for people who join to send out ads and information to each other. Many of the ads found on safelists concern ways to make money online. Safelists were created mainly in response to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which placed serious restrictions on spamming and which allows for prosecution of those individuals and companies who transgress these restrictions. Safelists are "safe" because they provide a place for people to advertise without being accused of spamming, which can get you into all sorts of trouble if enough people complain. No one who is really trying to create a business online wants to be accused of spamming.With a very catchy or striking subject line, you can still get a few people here and there to open your email, provided you send out enough of them to the safelists and at the right time of the week and day. The correct time and date are usually considered to be "secrets," but they are common sense. Weekends are usually not a good time, as people are interested not in work but in play at that time. Many people work in offices and don't want to read emails after they get home, if they even have a home computer, so there are many people reading (and deleting) their messages during lunch hour. Now, "lunch hour" varies around the world, as does the "weekend," so you will have to account for when that will occur most appropriately for your business enterprise. If you join a safelist submitter that mails to at least 1 million people, if you have a catchy subject line and a compelling body copy, and if you send out these messages - rotating your ads - at the appropriate times of day and week, you may see a satisfying amount of traffic going to your website. In this sense, it can be said that safelists do work, but that "iffy" success is only one part of the net-marketing battle!� Shred documents containing your sensitive information before discarding them.� Fully support the offline (download and delete) access model.� Guard your mail from theft. Promptly remove your incoming mail from your mailbox and place outgoing mail in locked collection boxes at your local Post Office.Thieves steal your personal information and use it to open credit accounts, bank accounts, telephone service accounts, and make major purchases in your name. These criminals use your sensitive information to take over existing accounts, or open new accounts. Their criminal activities can result in damage to your credit rating and denials to credit and job offers.� Dumpster Diving, one of the easiest ways for them to appropriate your personal information.What does work?� Create unique passwords and personal identification numbers (PINS) and avoid using easily available information such as mother's maiden name, date of birth, or last four digits of your Social Security number.� Mail Theft from unsecured residential mailboxes. According to statistics, mail theft most often takes place at unprotected and easily accessible mailboxes in public places.Safelists come in all sizes, as they can be owned or started by anyone who wants one, Some of them have thousands of members, while others have just a few. There are also services called "safelist submitters," which allow you to join and send to hundreds or thousands of safelists at once. If you are submitting to thousands of safelists, you are sending your emails to hundreds of thousands or millions of people, which sounds very exciting. Safelists have been considered for several years now to be the best place for new marketers or "newbies" to start their business. But, do they really work? For the most part, safelist marketing has become obsolete and outdated. It used to work much better, but since everyone's doing it, it doesn't work very well anymore, especially because many people now use huge mailboxes that can automatically delete all messages. In that way, people don't have to go through their mailboxes and actually look at any of the mail, which means they aren't really reading any of the messages.

Do Safelists Work?

What is a safelist?

When someone uses your name or personal information, such as your credit card number, driver's license number, Social Security number, telephone number, or other account numbers, without your permission, you become a victim of identity theft.� Both Support persistent message identifiers for disconnected use.� Both handle mail access only. Sending of emails is handled by SMTP.

With a very catchy or striking subject line, you can still get a few people here and there to open your email, provided you send out enough of them to the safelists and at the right time of the week and day. The correct time and date are usually considered to be "secrets," but they are common sense. Weekends are usually not a good time, as people are interested not in work but in play at that time. Many people work in offices and don't want to read emails after they get home, if they even have a home computer, so there are many people reading (and deleting) their messages during lunch hour. Now, "lunch hour" varies around the world, as does the "weekend," so you will have to account for when that will occur most appropriately for your business enterprise. If you join a safelist submitter that mails to at least 1 million people, if you have a catchy subject line and a compelling body copy, and if you send out these messages - rotating your ads - at the appropriate times of day and week, you may see a satisfying amount of traffic going to your website. In this sense, it can be said that safelists do work, but that "iffy" success is only one part of the net-marketing battle!

What is POP3?

POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol (version 3) and comprises of mailboxes for email systems so that a user can retrieve email from a central location where the email is stored. Depending on the type of hosting package preferred, most of the quality web-hosting providers offer their customers with POP3 accounts. With the POP3 accounts, users can have mailboxes on a server with their domain name. So if for example, you own a domain name (yourdomain.com); then you can receive and send emails through yourname@yourdomain.com. With POP3, users can access their mailboxes and download messages their computers in the most simple and standardized manner.

� Safeguard your personal information. Never take simple things for granted.� They have commercial implementations available.� Before you discard your personal information that you no longer need, such as credit card receipts, billing statements, and pre-approved credit card offers, shred them using, at best, a diagonal-cut shredder.Make education about the scams, schemes, and frauds criminal use to steal your identity your priority in view of the rising occurrence of this multi-million-dollar-problem. With education comes prevention. Here are some prevention tips to help reduce the risks:Low-Tech Rip-offs: Thieves can do much damage with what they remove from your mailbox.� As an extra measure of security, install a lock on your mailbox, even if mail theft is not an identified problem in your neighborhood.Most e-mail applications also known as an e-mail clients use the POP protocol, although some can use the newer IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol). The user needs to ensure that their domain is hosted on a server, which has nameservers in order to facilitate setting up of POP3 email accounts for their domains. Since POP3 allows a client computer to retrieve electronic mail from a POP3 server via a (temporary) TCP/IP or other connection, it does not provide for sending mail, which is assumed to be performed via SMTP or some other method.� They allow access to new mail from anywhere on the network.� They rely on mail delivery to a, usually shared, "always up" mail server.� Shoulder surfing takes place when a thief watches or listens literally over your shoulder as you enter your PIN into an ATM machine. They may even follow you home or your place of work to gather additional information about you.� They have freely available implementations (including source) available.� They allow access to new mail from a variety of client platform types.Protecting Your Identity While there are no guarantees that your identity will never be stolen or compromised, there are several steps you can take to minimize the risks. Here are a few of them:

Once the user has understood what exactly are the functions of POP3 email accounts and its uses, he can choose a hosting package that offers POP3 email accounts with their respective support. It is equally advisable to first check with the web host whether these POP3 accounts are offered within the hosting package or come at an additional monthly cost. For most web masters, POP3 accounts are indispensable and therefore it becomes imperative to opt for a web hosting service that offers this feature. The company's support needs to be of high quality as well in order to ensure smooth web hosting. Any kind of laxity or errors can cost you hundreds to millions of dollars, which is highly undesirable. Some hosting packages may include "unlimited POP3 accounts" or perhaps a set number of POP3 accounts. It is advisable therefore to first determine your requirement before selecting the hosting package with its corresponding POP3 account allowance. Lap up on ample knowledge and then select a package that would befit your website requirements.

Seven Steps to Safeguard your PBX System

If your company uses a PBX / Voice Messaging system then you are being targeted by Phreakers (Phone Hackers).

2.1 Vulnerability: Remote access allows vendors to access and perform maintenance or changes to your system remotely. The technician will connect via a modem to a system SDI (Serial Data Interface) port and log in to your system to perform the actions. This connection path may be exploited by phreakers.- A regular review of calls associated with the extension.So, here's 6 quick tips that I use to help me better manage my email:6.2 Protective Action 1: Avoid modem polls. Many companies use modem pools to reduce the total cost of analog card ports. Modem pools allow phreakers and hackers to dial in and peruse your system for vulnerabilities.Even after you have emptied your trash, Compressing Folders is a recommended step to prevent other data corruption. Once you understand that an email does not actually move from one folder to another until the folder is compressed, then you can better appreciate this advice.4. Be sure that your virus system, firewall system, junk mail systems are up-to-date. I use Norton for viruses and have it connected to my email system so that all incoming and outgoing messages are scanned for viruses. Norton prompts me to update it regularly. ZoneAlarm, my firewall system, www.zonealarm.com is up and running whenever I'm online to protect me from any type of intrusive attacks. Eudora has a built-in junk email detector system that works relatively well, but I'd prefer that most of my junkmail never even reach my email program. Consequently, I use SpamArrest, www.spamarrest.com, which runs $34.95/year. All of my email goes through SpamArrest before it's downloaded into Eudora, and I can approve or block certain senders as I see fit. I log in at the beginning of the day and the end of the day to see if something was labeled as spam and rescue it, and then proceed to delete all the spam. Of the 600 emails a day I receive, I would estimate that at least 400/day are due to spam. Thanks goodness for SpamArrest!7. Fraud Scams- Password protection.
- Password creation procedures (avoid simple passwords or number sequences).
- Lost password retrieval procedures.
- New mailbox creation procedures.
- Terminated employee procedures.1.2 Protective Action 1: Verify with your vendor that all factory passwords have been changed or deactivated.7.2 Protective Action 1: Educate your employees on authorized contacts from your vendor or communications personnel. Vendors should always identify themselves.1.2.2 Protective Action 3: Create and maintain a process that identifies how often passwords will be changed and 'triggers' that require system password changes.This is an important part of your email management. When you no longer need an email, it should be deleted. When you first delete an email, your software will send the email to the Trash Bin. Your email is not actually deleted until you first empty your trash bin.� http://www.fcc.gov � Federal Communications Commission.
� http://www.fraud.com � Report suspected fraud.
- http://www.cs2communications.com- Cultivate non-sharing of authorization codes within your company.
- Authorization codes should be as lengthy as your switch will allow.
- Change authorization codes on a regular basis.
- If possible, change the Flexible Feature code associated with authorization codes at least once a year.
- Keep records of created authorization codes.
- Regularly review calls associated with authorization codes.4.1 Vulnerability: External transfers and forwarding exposes your company to employee fraud and phreaker activity. Employees could intentional take advantage of this feature to process non-business-related calls for themselves or friends. Phreakers use their social skills to convince employees to connect calls for them.Once you learn how to use your software to its full potential, then your life will be greatly simplified and your effectiveness will be dramatically improved.- Time of Day schedules for Call Forwarding (contact your vendor).OUTLOOK EXPRESS: Click on Edit - Empty 'Deleted Items' Folder. To compress the remaining folders, click on Tools - Options, then click on the tab for Maintenance. Then click the button that says, "Clean Up Now". Once the compression is completed, click OK.5.1 Vulnerability: The most likely problem you will encounter with authorization codes is employee sharing. The act of sharing authorization codes exposes your company to possible employee fraud. Phreakers are savvy and are likely to know the authorization code procedures used by your particular system.I cannot stress enough how important it is that you utilize the tools for emptying the trash and compressing the mail folders. Protecting your email data on a regular basis is good practice for avoiding disaster in your mailbox.NETSCAPE MAIL: Click on File - Empty Trash Folder. To compress the mailboxes, click on File - Compress Folders.When an email is moved from one folder to the other, only the header information is actually moved. The body information will not be deleted from the original folder until which time the original folder is compressed.5. Authorization Codes- Call Forwarding scams. Your employee is asked to forward calls as a test for a vendor.
- Call Back scams. Your employee is asked to dial a number as a test.
- Area Code scams. Your employee is informed to access an important message by dialing an 809 or 900 area code number. (Also known as the "Prize" scam).
- Modem Hijack scams. Your employee is informed to visit a link on the internet or asked to install a program. The program then runs in the background and dials numbers.6.2.2 Protective Action 3: Set the software associated with modems to not auto-answer. Many software programs or emulation programs have built in security features that prevent unauthorized access.6.2.1 Protective Action 2: Determine if a modem will have dial in and/or dial out capabilities. Most modems should be dial out only. To make a modem dial out only have your vendor program the extension as a non-Direct Inward Dial (DID). Modems that are Direct Inward Dial should adhere to the discipline discussed in Step 2.You are the best judge as to how to organize your email into topics that provide an easy method of retrieval of the information when you need it most.- Release company information (mailbox log in procedures, switch room and modem numbers).
- Connect to external numbers or transfer to external numbers.
- Dial a specific dial string or area code.Email filters are a tool to help you save time and frustration. Have you ever lost an incoming email under the deluge of email coming into your mailbox? With filters, you can direct the important email or not-so-important email into certain pre-ordained folders.As an example, when Email A comes into your main Inbox, the data connected to Email A appears in two files. One file contains the header and body of the email. The other file contains only the email header information.Related Websites:In order to get the most from your email software, there are three key processes that you should learn. These processes are concerned with data organization, saving time and email database management.2.2.1 Protective Action 2: Consider purchasing a modem with a CLID authentication feature. The authentication feature checks the number dialing in and if it doesn�t match the CLID authentication programming, the call is refused. Communicate with your vendor to determine what number they will be using. Perform an internet search for CLID Authentication modems or contact your vendor.2.2.2 Protective Action 3: You could place all of your modems in DND (Do Not Disturb). Calls made to the modem will be forwarded to your Attendants or a recorded announcement (RAN). Inform your vendor that they must call the attendant prior to dialing in so that the DND can be removed. They must also contact the attendant when they are done programming.Fortunately, the primary email browsers make it easy to organize your information. By allowing you to create folders within your email software, you can file specific emails into folders dedicated to the topic of the email.Don�t be fooled into thinking you need some special software to filter your email. Setting up filters is actually quite easy.I've found email to be both a blessing and a curse. I love the immediacy of the communication, but hate all of the spam and viruses that I have to be vigilant about.7.1 Vulnerability: Phreakers or scammers will use social skills to convince your employees to:EUDORA: Click on Mailbox - New --- or right click on Eudora in the folders window and then click on New. When the window opens, type in the name of your new mailbox and click OK. If you want to create a folder to place other mailboxes into, click the checkbox before clicking OK.6. Never put your email address on your website. Spammers buy robot or spider programs that scour websites for unecoded email addresses to add to their spam database. You can use a contact form where a visitor will have to input information and send the form data to you, or you can use an email address encoder program. I like to maintain the ability for my visitors to email me if they wish, so I use a program called Natata Anit-Spam Encoder, http://natata.hn3.net/antispam_encoder.htm. I encode all the email addresses on my websites and those of clients. The program is free of charge.EUDORA: Click on Special - Make Filter. Once again, just follow the instructions in the Filter wizard.- A regular review of where calls are being routed.5. If you're receiving emails via your domain name, like yourname@yourdomainname.com, and the email address is set up as a POP3 account, log into your web hosting account and be sure that you're set up only to receive emails at designated email addresses. Many times spammers will send emails out to postmaster@ or webmaster@ or info@, as these are pretty common email address aliases. If your hosting email account has an address that is set up to receive all the email to the bogus aliases (unrouted email) , you'll be getting lots of spam. Instead, log in to your hosting account and set your default email address to :blackhole: or to :fail: No Such User Here so that you'll only get the email at the addresses you've created.1.2.1 Protective Action 2: Change your passwords frequently, especially if your company has a high number of employee turnovers.3.2. Protective Action 1: Disallow auto-create mailboxes. This setting is usually enabled during installation to permit a quick setup. When your initial setup is complete � disable this feature.Article by Charles Carter

6 Secrets to Preventing Email Overload

I wonder now who was the genius who said email would make our lives easier? Don't you want to strangle this person on some days??

Keeping Your Email Box Organized & Ready for Business

Learning how to get the most organization from your email software is very likely the most important skill you can learn to conduct a successful online home business.

Generally, phreakers use auto dialers to scan numbers that answer with carrier signals. When a system answers, it is then compared to the known programming formats. Phreakers will also manually dial into your Voice Messaging system and attempt to breach your systems security features.There are three primary email applications on the market that folks use to manage their incoming POP3 email. Those three are:

• Microsoft Outlook Express
• Eudora
• Netscape Mail

SET UP EMAIL FOLDERS2. Control your urge to check your email all of the time. I have my email program set to check email every 4 hours, which is twice a day for my workday, rather than having the program check it automatically during the day. I know that many of my clients will procrastinate on what they need to do by deciding to read their email rather than to do the pressing items on their to do lists. Limiting your ability to read your email will result in getting productivity--I guarantee it!1.1 Vulnerability: Some systems are installed with the default factory passwords still activated or unchanged. This is the most vulnerable setup. Phreakers know your PBX / Voice Messaging system factory passwords and will try that password once connected.6. Workstation/Internal modems3.2.3 Protective Action 4: Create and maintain an internal agreement with all Voice Messaging system users. At a minimum the agreement should cover:NETSCAPE MAIL: Click File - New Folder. Then from the drop-down menu, select the folder that you wish to be the folder directly above your new folder, before clicking OK.You can tame the email beast, but it'll take a little effort and energy and due diligence to make it all work. Implement these steps, and you'll stop dreading receiving email.To setup email filters:3.2.2 Protective Action 3: Mailbox passwords should be as long as possible and employees should be encouraged to use the longest password.Phreakers also recognize �signatures� of systems. When a phreaker dials in and listens to the Voice prompts and instructions of you voice mail system, he/she recognizes what system they are communicating with and use that information to hack into the system.OUTLOOK EXPRESS: Click on Tools - Message Rules - Mail. A wizard will open to help you create your new email filters. Just follow the instructions provided to direct mail based on certain criteria into certain folders.OUTLOOK EXPRESS: 1. Click File - Folders - New --- alternatively, you may also right click an item in the Folder window --- and then type in the name of your new folder. Highlight the folder above where you would like your new folder to be placed, and then click OK.5.2.1 Protective Action 2: Ensure that authorization code entry is blind or hidden when entered on display phones and that redial of authorization codes is blocked. You may need to contact your vendor to activate these features.Let me share one important lesson I l've learned about computer software. One should never be afraid to try new things. Learning how to get the most out of your software relies upon your willingness to dig in and learn how to use it.3.2.1 Protective Action 2: Pass-thru dialing allows mailbox owners to dial into a Voice Messaging system and dial a code for an outside line. Not only does this open your company to possible phreaker activity; it also exposes your company to employee fraud.6.1 Vulnerability: Workstation/Internal modems not only provide phreakers with access to system resources, it also exposes your data network to hackers, worms and viruses.Emptying your trash bin compresses the mailboxes from where the email was originally filed. This is absolutely paramount to the protection of your email data. If you go too long between compressing your email data, then your email data could become corrupted and you might need assistance in recovering your email data.4.2.1 Protective Action 2: In cases where it is imperative that an extension be allowed to perform external transfers or call forwarding, create an internal procedure that sets:FILTERING EMAIL3. Voice Messaging SystemsCopyright 2006 Donna GunterPhreakers take advantage of system interface vulnerabilities, known security (factory) passwords, and use social skills to obtain access to your system resources. Once a phreaker has successfully hacked into your PBX system, he/she may exchange the information with other phreakers, implement Call Back schemes, or place long distance calls that are billed to your company.1. The rule of handling email is the same as handling paper correspondence. Only handle it once. When you've read it, decide at that point to delete it, answer it, or file it for later action. Don't let you email inbox grow to 1000 or more messages--that becomes incredibly overwhelming and drains too much energy from you every day. I receive roughly about 600 pieces of email a day, so if I didn't do something to manage it properly, I'd be drowning in email.3. Set up filters (in Eudora) or rules (in Outlook) to automatically shuffle email into appropriate folders. I have numerous mailboxes set up in Eudora to house all of the posts of the discussion lists I belong to or newsletters I receive or daily correspondence that I get from clients. In many cases, I have sub-mailboxes set up under my primary mailboxes to further categorize the email that I receive. I've set these mailboxes up over time, and in many cases at the point where the email arrives in my inbox. It may take you 30 or so days to set up filters or rules for your email, but the effort will be very worthwhile. Now, when I check email, the mailboxes containing new mail appear across the bottom of my screen, so I can quickly eyeball them and figure out what on which emails immediate action is needed.2.2 Protective Action 1: Implement the protective actions in Step 1.7.2.1 Protective Action 2: Educate your employees on existing scams and how to identify possible scams. Existing/common scams:As part of the war against spam, most ISP's use filters every day in an attempt to keep the spam out of your mailbox. In fact, I even use filters to sort my incoming mail trying to catch the spam my ISP missed.You�ll never stop the attempts by phreakers to access your system, nor can you easily identify access attempts, but you can take steps to safeguard your PBX / Voice Messaging system.4.2. Protective Action 1: In most cases External transfer and/or Call forwarding isn�t needed. Many employees like to Call Forward calls to cell phones when out of the office � this is counter productive to your Voice Messaging system. Instead, instruct employees to allow calls to be routed to their mailbox and to check their mailboxes regularly when away from the office.1. Factory Passwords

Once you learn how to use your software to its full potential, then your life will be greatly simplified and your effectiveness will be dramatically improved.

Developer tries something different in Carmel

A veteran local homebuilder is tearing up the suburban residential playbook with a new project in Carmel that offers tightly spaced bungalows clustered around grassy courtyards.

The essential features of Chapin's "pocket neighborhoods" of six to 10 homes are an orientation toward a shared community garden and a diminishment of the influence of cars.There are many payment systems as you very well know and there is the limitation when you use such systems, i.e. you can do sales yourself but you cannot use an affiliate for the same. So, your profits would depend solely on what you can do yourself. If you had this limitation removed and were able to accept affiliates, would it not be great?Prices range from $225,000 for a two-bedroom, single-story cottage up to about $400,000 for a three-bedroom, two-story cottage with a finished basement and 2-1/2-car garage. Sizes range from about 1,000 square feet to 1,700 square feet. Finished basements add another 1,000 square feet.The development brings a new-to-market concept at a price point that seems reasonable for Carmel, a tough feat for new-construction residential given a backlog of unsold existing homes, he said. Selling points include easy access to Interstate 465, proximity to The Fashion Mall at Keystone and a stronger neighborhood feel than other new-home developments.In this way you could set up as many affiliates as you have payment systems which would mean you could have the opportunity of multiplying your profits just so many times over.The colorful homes have custom finishes including built-ins, large walk-in closets and hardwood floors. Windows are strategically placed to allow for proximity without sacrificing privacy.Land finished up the first six cottages and opened a model unit in late June. The first phase of the project calls for 27 units on about five acres, to be built one cluster at a time so no one has to live on an empty courtyard. Ultimately, the 27-acre site could accommodate about 130 homes.There are excellent programs out there such as Click2Sell.EU ( http://www.click2sell.eu ) which give you total and full control over your payment systems. This program helps you to have a complete picture in one panel so you could at any time check on any particular aspect of your accounts. Without such a program, it would be extremely not difficult but impossible for you to stay on top of every system; nor would you be able to have your own affiliates."There are a million average houses," Chapin said. "There are just a handful of higher quality, thoughtfully planned and designed houses. Those will stand out in comparison."One home has 'sold, one has been reserved, and three buyers are discussing trim levels.The only one buy-now button would mean more freedom, less time spent in manning and simplification of an otherwise highly cumbersome process.Chapin said the homes appeal to niche buyers. Values have held up well compared to the stereotypical housing development with curvilinear streets and homes in various shades of beige.Most sites on the Internet will send your cat mailbox complete with everything you need for installation. This feature is appealing to most people because all they have to do is unwrap and install their cat mailbox for all to see. Big or small, black or white a cat mailbox will be the talk of every neighborhood. So be the first in your neighborhood to have your own "Cat Mailbox"."You're buying a lifestyle, not a box."Homes at the Inglenook neighborhood along 99th Street west of Haverstick Road feature living and dining spaces up front while garages are situated on a stone-paved alley in back."I have been playing with this idea on and off in bits and pieces for more than a decade," said Land, 55, who lives in Indianapolis with his wife and has three adult children. His degree is in civil engineering from Notre Dame.As a matter you could do so with the present systems, but the pain in setting up such an arrangements usually deter merchants from taking it up as the effort far exceeds the profits that would accrue from it. An affiliate would not only be able to multiply your profits, but also take a lot of load off your shoulders in promoting your products on different online websites, forums using various online marketing methods. Definitely, having an affiliate would help your business grow exponentially.The communities are designed for in-fill sites like the one in Carmel and bring more homes per acre than traditional single-family developments, lowering their impact on the environment.NOTE: This article is for information only. See your veterinarian for medical advice.Land paid about $4 million - or $150,000 an acre - for the property. The seller was Steve Pittman, who had rezoned the land to allow for row houses and quads. Demand for those fell apart with the housing market.He's obviously not a believer in "Good fences make good neighbors." When communities are designed as a whole, instead of individual houses in a vacuum, Chapin said, you don't end up with bedroom windows facing each other and tall privacy fences.

"Something like this is healthy for the market because it gives people choices," Litten said. "And getting that first phase built shows people [Casey Land] has a track record. Nobody wants to he the pioneer, like 'Little House on the Prairie' with no one living around you."

Simple Way To Handle Different Merchants' Accounts As Easily As Different Mailboxes

Being a merchant with many affiliates can be a very profitable business. However, most of the merchants find it clumsy and cumbersome to handle different merchant accounts in multiple systems. When you are able to offer multiple payment options the sales improve dramatically because it suits more people to do business with you. However, setting up different merchant accounts for each product and payment can be so, so tiring.

That's right a cat mailboxes, what�s not to love? Your new cat mailbox is a cute, fun, decorative novelty item that can bring your home to life. It is defiantly a way to personalize your property. It can show to the whole world that you are a friend to felines. The assortment of different cat mailboxes is as astounding. They have so many different shapes and sizes that it makes the decision to purchase just one a difficult choice. There have been some who have purchased cat mailboxes just for decorating the home really!. They can be created to look like a playful kittens, or in a stalking pose. The design is limited only by cat lovers� imagination.There is tremendous benefit in being able to coordinate them through one point rather than checking them out individually. Each payment system could have its own separate commission plan, payment schedule, product list and so on. When you have a program that allows you to check on all of them just like you would check all your mail boxes through outlook express � this would save you time and a lot of headache, besides giving you instant information about all the payment systems.Houses are clustered around the courtyard,and mailboxes are arranged together with a sitting area where residents can peruse their mail as they catch up with neighbors.Cat mailboxes are approved by the United States Postal service and are made of heavy-duty steel that is rust and weather resistant. They also can be made out of different materials such as wood, or vinyl, and are all durable to withstand even the often-frigid temperatures of winter or scorching heat of summertime. Cat mailboxes come in many different designs. They can be freestanding alone, or can be attach to a home. They can even have locks attached by request. By searching the Internet, there you will find hundreds of links that will assist the cat lover in finding the perfect cat mailbox. There are even sites that will create a specific cat mailbox from a picture that is sent.Land tapped architect Ross Chapin, an advocate for and developer of infill cottage neighborhoods across the country, to design Inglenook. Chapin has partnered on six such projects and designed another 40 out of his office in Langley, Wash.You must understand one thing, cats love us unconditionally; we can do no wrong with them. Now, for the very first time there is something that can lift your spirits as soon as you turn into the driveway of our home. Here is a new and unique way to pay tribute to the one who enriches our lives in so many different ways and that is with your kitty cat mailboxes."We're trying to put the emotion back in buying a house," said developer Casey Land, who launched Land Development & Building Inc. in 2008 after stints at Shiel Sexton and the predecessor to Simon Property Group.Check For Programs With Which You Could Coordinate Your Affiliates

There are excellent programs out there such as Click2Sell.EU ( http://www.click2sell.eu ) which give you total and full control over your payment systems. This program helps you to have a complete picture in one panel so you could at any time check on any particular aspect of your accounts. Without such a program, it would be extremely not difficult but impossible for you to stay on top of every system; nor would you be able to have your own affiliates.
