Recently, qisoftware.com has been suspended twice in as many weeks with the claim I am spamming. One of their emails in part of a series of communiques about the issue--
Let me say first off all-- I have been with this web hosting outfit since July 2007 and the forums have always worked in the same way. I send notifications of new sign ups to one of my gmail accounts. Before last Friday, I allowed the qisoftware.com email servers to notify new members their account was pending-- however deleted most. I primarily use the forums to list things-- and I really cannot afford to have them become SEO usable.
What I had forgotten the first time the account was suspended [about 2 weeks ago]-- was the email to new members notifying them that their membership was pending. It was coming from qisoftware.com mail servers. Emails to me-- to my gmail account. That said-- for some reason my hosting service kept sending an example of one of my emails to the gmail account. That's why I was confused.
To correct this problem-- I decided to use the SMTP option using the same gmail account.
It is not working yet-- so new sign ups are totally disabled. I am getting a server connect time out or a STARTTLS error. I am still playing with it. In the meantime everything else is working.
Notes about this issue-- [making a case].
- Adsense runs on every page of that forum and I use an image verification for sign up... Adsense is not reporting the stats- based on my web hosts acknowledgement of the number of emails sent out per hour.. more than 200. Yes, I was getting about 1000 emails to my gmail account daily. Some bot sign ups.
- In 2003 or so, I wrote a php procedure to delete bulk sign ups to the forums-- insuring the database did not get to large. I had a problem with a web hosting service once because of this-- so I put my programming skills to use as a safeguard.
- Why now after 6 years?
- Abstract noise suggests the government is deleting entries to the log files for the domain [keeping Alexa numbers low-- also using mirrors]-- so the fact that I was getting all of these emails is troubling-- to mostly them. Adsense-- being one of the affiliates listed in the settlement deal-- should be also concerned. I am told a lot via abstract noise. What I don't get-- is why the public does not get the Alexa numbers don't look correct-- also?
US Government -- you tell me so I can sanction? I do not.
